Transportation

West along Main Street in Lava Hot Springs, July 2003

The primary road through the city is U.S. Route 30 (US 30), which passes just north of the majority of the community. On the northeast corner of the city is the western end of Old Highway 30, which is a former routing of US 30 that runs parallel to and just south of the Union Pacific Railroad (UP) tracks (formerly Oregon Short Line) [8] around the north end of the Fish Creek Range. The current routing of US 30 via Fish Creek Summit reduced the distance between Lava Hot Springs and Soda Springs by about 11 miles (18 km), but bypassed the city of Bancroft. Notwithstanding, the rerouting still created a more direct route between Lava Hot Springs and Bancroft (via Central Road), reducing driving distance between the cities by about 5.5 miles (8.9 km).
