Routing
From California Correctional Institution at Tehachapi to Route 58 near
Tehachapi.
Post 1964 Signage HistoryThis routing remains as defined in 1963.
In 1999, a routing from Commings Valley Blvd to W. Tehachapi Blvd along Tucker Road was adopted.
The routing along Tucker is cosigned with Business Route 58. Business Route 58 splits east on
Tehechapi Boulevard whereas Route 202 stays on Tucker Road. Route 202
continues west on Valley Boulevard towards the California Correctional
Facility; Valley Boulevard was originally a section of US 466. It seems
that Route 202 was moved east into Tehachapi via Curry Street, Tehachapi
Boulevard, and Tucker Road between 1965 and 1967 as the Route 58
expressway was being built. Route 202 was shifted onto Valley Boulevard
west of Woodford-Tehachapi Road some time in the 1990s.
