Route description
editSH-58 begins at a junction with Washington State Route 278 at the Washington state line east of Rockford. From there, the highway heads east through rural Kootenai County before turning to the southeast to cross and then follow North Fork Rock Creek. The route curves east alongside the creek and intersects US 95 at an interchange, its eastern terminus. The road continues as South Nukwalqw Street, which serves the Coeur d'Alene Casino and Circling Raven Golf Club near Worley.[2][3][4] The entire highway is located on the Coeur d'Alene Reservation.[5]
History
editConstruction on a new freeway for US-95 between Worley and Lake Creek, which would bypass the original eastern terminus of SH-58, began in 2007.[6] SH-58 was rerouted in 2008 to a new interchange on the south side of North Fork Rock Creek that also served the Coeur d'Alene Casino.[7]
Major intersections
editThe entire route is in Kootenai County.
