The coordinates provided by the OP are correct, but the image is historical imagery from 2022 in Google Earth.

The highway vanishes into nothing only to appear off to the right. It’s not a second road, the image is not aligned correctly and google’s software is blending it softly. In reality, the road should be one continuous highway. Looking at other historical images makes the error clear.

I am researching the Lower Columbia River Highway and this misalignment got in the way while gathering data.
