US Route 12 in Walla Walla County, Washington
xonhulu:
It's part of an overall WSDOT plan to four-lane US 12 all the way from Tri-Cities to Walla Walla.
After that new section opens, all that will remain is the section west of there, from that segment's west end to the Columbia River:

Walla Walla to Wallula has a nicer ring to it than Walla Walla to Attalia. Oh well...

Almost certainly. The last segment of US 12 to be upgraded on a new alignment immediately to the east also resulted in an "Old Hwy 12". https://goo.gl/maps/QZktdaJKQRFpr5Pk8
Bruce:
As a bonus, it seems WSDOT is planning on restoring the old alignment of Old US 12 that had to be squared off to meet current US 12 (which will be demolished).
Chris:
The new US 12 bypass (freeway?) west of Walla Walla will likely open this Thursday, June 1. It was supposed to open last Friday but they had a mechanical breakdown.
