Horseshoe Bend Road was established in 1880 and has served as a seasonal hauling route for the local farms and ranches in the area. Horseshoe Bend Road became a priority due to recent population growth in the area. Horseshoe Bend Road is also the most direct route connecting the communities of Goldendale and Klickitat.

The existing condition of Horseshoe Bend had a rough gravel/dirt running surface with a width of 18 feet. The road had drainage issues that caused it to have standing water during the winter and spring seasons

The improvements to Horseshoe Bend Road included widening the roadway to a 28 ffot section, horizontal and vertical realignment, and the installation of 1,100 feet of guardrail, 24,575 feet of fencing, and over 3,312 linear feet of storm water improvements.
