2025 Changes
December 2025:
This update covers the rest of October, November, and December 2025.
Before we dive into the updates to the California Highways site, an update
on the California Highways: Route by Route podcast. As always, you can keep up with the show at the podcast's forever home at https://www.caroutebyroute.org , the show's page on Spotify for Podcasters, or you can subscribe through your favorite podcaster or via the RSS feeds (CARxR, Spotify for Podcasters) . The following episodes have been posted since the last update in
mid-October:
- November | CA RxR 4.02: I-8 and US 80 Between El Cajon and the Arizona Border. This is Episode 4.02, which continues our exploration of Route 8, better
known as Interstate 8. In this episode, we focus on the portion of I-8
from La Mesa (just outside of San Diego) to the Arizona border. We look
at not only current I-8, but the routing of the predecessor route, US 80. We discuss the communities of La Mesa and El Cajon, Alpine and
Descanso, Boulevard, the Mountain Springs Grade, Jacumba, Ocatillo (with
a digression on the Imperial Highway), El Centro, Holtville and the
Algondenes Dunes (with a digression on the Plank Road), Winterhaven and
Yuma. We also briefly talk about the interesting routing of US 80 within
Arizona, and how it differs from I-8. We talk about historical routings,
projects along the route, and some significant names. In the next
episode, we’ll turn our attention to Route 9, which currently runs
from Santa Cruz to Los Gatos, but which once ran all the way to Castro
Valley. (Spotify for Creators)
- November | CA RxR 4.03: Route 9: Santa Cruz and Saratoga. Episode 4.03 starts a pair of episodes that explore Route 9, which in its post-1964
version runs from Santa Cruz to Saratoga and Los Gatos. Before 1964,
Route 9 continued N up to the Mountain View area, and then across to
Milpitas, and up to the Castro Valley. This episode (4.03) covers the
current Route 9 from Santa Cruz to Los Gatos; the next episode (4.04)
covers the remainder of pre-1964 Sign Route 9 through Mountain View,
Milpitas, and up through Hayward and the Castro Valley. This episode
also explores the 9th State Route between Peanut and Kuntz
(now Mad River), and LRN 9. LRN 9 ran all the way from Ventura to San
Bernardino, and was Sign Route 118 from Ventura to Pasadena, and US 66
from Pasadena to San Bernardino. As always, we’ll talk about
historical routings, projects along the route, and some significant
names. As noted, the next episode explores the remainder of pre-1964
Sign Route 9 from Saratoga through Milpitas to the Castro Valley. (Spotify for Creators)
- December | CA RxR 4.04: Route 9: Pre-1964 – Milpitas to Castro Valley. Episode 4.04 is our second episode exploring Route 9, which in its
post-1964 version runs from Santa Cruz to Saratoga and Los Gatos. Before
1964, Route 9 continued N up to the Mountain View area, and then across
to Milpitas, and up to the Castro Valley. The previous episode covered
post-1964 Route 9 (and the first segment of pre-1964 Sign Route 9) from
Santa Cruz to Saratoga and then into Los Gatos, as well as all the 9th
State Route and LRN 9. This episode (4.04) covers the pre-1964 Route 9
portions N of Saratoga: Sign Route 9 through Mountain View, Milpitas,
and up through Hayward and the Castro Valley. This portion of Sign Route 9 became Route 85, Route 237, Route 17/I-880/I-680 (in portions) and
Route 238. The next pair of episodes will be covering I-10, with episode
4.05 covering the Santa Monica Freeway portion, and episode 4.06
covering the San Bernardino Freeway portion. (Spotify for Creators)
Turning to the updates to the California Highways pages: Updates were
made to the following highways, based on my reading of the (virtual)
papers and my research for the fourth season of the podcast in October,
November, and December 2025 (which are posted to the roadgeeking category at the "Observations Along The Road" and to the California Highways Facebook group) as well as any backed up email changes. I also reviewed the the AAroads forum (Ꜳ). This resulted in changes on the following routes, with credit as indicated [my research(ℱ), contributions

Continued work on Season 4 of the Route by Route podcast. Research for
and preparation of the episodes for the back half of the season (covering
Route 11 through Route 14) resulted in changes and updates to the
following routes: Route 12, Route 13, Route 14, Route 24, Route 29, I-110,
Route 116, Route 121, LRN 7, LRN 12, LRN 13, LRN 51, LRN 74, LRN 104.
Added an interesting link to the maps page: Old Insurance Maps. This can provide some interesting comparisons of highway routing to redlining.
Reviewed the Pending Legislation page, based on the California Legislature site, for bills through 2025-12-29. As usual, I recommend to every Californian
that they visit the legislative website regularly and see what their
legis-critters are doing. As many people are unfamiliar with how the
legislature operates (and why there are so many "non-substantive changes"
and "gut and amend" bills), I've added the legislative calendar (updated for 2025) to the end of the Pending Legislation page. Noted the passage of the following bills / resolutions:
- SB 695 (Cortese) Transportation: climate resiliency: projects of statewide and regional significance.
Existing law establishes the State Transportation Infrastructure
Climate Adaptation Program, administered by the Department of
Transportation, for purposes of planning, developing, and implementing
projects adapting state transportation infrastructure to climate
change. Existing law requires the department, in consultation with,
among others, the Transportation Agency and the California
Transportation Commission, to develop a program of its top priority
climate adaptation projects and to submit projects in this program to
the commission for adoption. Existing law requires the department, in
developing the program of projects, to consider specified criteria,
including, but not limited to, the benefits of the project to
preserving or enhancing regional or statewide mobility, economy, goods
movement, and safety, and other benefits associated with protecting
the asset.
This bill would require the department, in consultation with the
commission and the agency, and on or before July 1, 2026, and annually
thereafter, to create a prioritized list of projects of statewide and
regional significance, as defined, to better prepare the state for
extreme weather-related events, with priority based on specified
criteria. The bill would require the department, on or before January
1, 2027, and annually thereafter, to submit to the Legislature a
report containing the prioritized list of projects.

Reviewed the online agenda of the California Coastal Commission for the November and December meetings. There were no items related to state highways in
the reviewed agendas.
I checked California Transportation Commission page for the results of the December 2025 meeting of the California Transportation Commission. As always, note that I tend not to track items that do not impact these pages — i.e., pavement rehabilitation or
replacement, landscaping, drainage, culverts, roadside facilities,
charging stations, or other things that do not impact the routing or
history, unless they are really significant. As such, the following items
were of interest:

The following projects were of interest for
the highway pages. Uninteresting projects included emergency storm
damage mitigation that was primarily repairs; repairing damage from
unhoused individuals; and damage from accidents, because all of these
eventually restore the facility to the condition it was in before the
emergency (and thus there is no new facility or significant change to
the facility).

October 2025:
This update covers the rest of August, September, and October 2025.
Before we dive into the updates to the California Highways site, an update
on the California Highways: Route by Route podcast. As always, you can keep up with the show at the podcast's forever home at https://www.caroutebyroute.org , the show's page on Spotify for Podcasters, or you can subscribe through your favorite podcaster or via the RSS feeds (CARxR, Spotify for Podcasters) . The following episodes have been posted since the last update in early
August:
- August | CA RxR 3.14: Freeway Exit (Bonus). Bonus Episode 3.14 continues our inter-season gap between Seasons 3 and 4. This episode
we're sharing an episode of the excellent Freeway Exit podcast from KPBS San Diego. Freeway Exit, hosted by Andrew Bowen, is an exploration of San Diego's freeways, their costs, and how they can be part of the solution. It covers the forgotten history of
the urban freeway network, and how decades after that network was
finished, some communities are still working to heal the wounds that
freeways left behind. The episode we've chosen to share focuses on the
Cabrillo Freeway, Route 163, through Balboa Park, and explores the
question: Is it time to remove the freeway? After the episode, we have a
discussion with Andrew about the podcast, the the San Diego freeway
system, and how highways fit into the bigger picture. Oh, and we
discover what he is doing next with the podcast, and try to convince him
to do one on the Route 710 gap. This episode is also a test of using Zencaster to record the podcast.
Hopefully it sounds better, and next time I'll move my microphone a bit
further back. Zencaster also gives us the ability to have transcripts.
Would folks want them included in the post? One more bonus episode is in
the works: An interview with the LA Metro Archivist. We'll pick up in
the October with Season 4, which will cover Route 8 through Route 14.
PS: Support KPBS, or your local PBS/NPR Station (Spotify for Podcasters)
- September | CA RxR 3.15: LA Metro Archives (Bonus). A New Year’s Gift for you: Our last Bonus Episode of Season 3. Episode 3.15 features
an interview with Claire Kennedy, Archivist for the Los Angeles
Metropolitan Transportation Agency (LA Metro). In this role, Claire
manages the LA Metro Archives, which date back to the 1800s and the earliest horse-drawn transportation in the city. These archives cover not only
the wide variety of transit agencies in Los Angeles, but also the
highway and road system as Metro is the Regional Transportation Agency.
These archives are a public resource, and are open by appointment;
information on how to make an appointment is in the podcast (and below).
Note that we had some trouble with Zencastr this episode; we fell back
to FreeConferenceCall.com. We’ll pick up in the October with
Season 4, which will cover Route 8 through Route 14. (Spotify for Podcasters)
- October | CA RxR 4.01: I-8, Former Route 109, Route 209, and US 80 in San Diego. Welcome to Season 4 of CA Highways: Route by Route. Episode 4.01 is the
first half of our exploration of Route 8. This episode covers the 8th
State Highway, which became LRN 36 and later Route 194. It covers LRN 8,
which ran from Ignacio (Novato) to Cordelia via Napa, and became parts
of Route 37, Route 121, Route 12, and Route 29. We look at Sign Route 8,
which became today’s Route 26. And lastly, we look at I-8 in San
Diego, including its historical ancestor US 80. This includes former
Route 209 to Point Loma, which was part of LRN 12 and possibly US 80,
and former Route 109, which became the portion of Route 8 W of I-5 (and
you’ll learn why that is not I-8). Episode 4.02 will pick up the
story and explore the rest of I-8/US 80 between San Diego and the
Arizona Border, including a discussion of the Imperial Highway. (Spotify for Podcasters)
Turning to the updates to the California Highways pages: Updates were
made to the following highways, based on my reading of the (virtual)
papers and my research for the fourth season of the podcast in July,
August, September, and October 2025 (which are posted to the roadgeeking category at the "Observations Along The Road" and to the California Highways Facebook group) as well as any backed up email changes.

Continued work on Season 4 of the Route by Route podcast. It is
surprising how pulling the thread on one particular route's page touches a
large number of routes, and often results in a reorganization and deep
review of information on the page that may have gotten stale in the light
of subsequent research. This resulted in changes and updates to the
following routes: Route 3, I-5, Route 9, I-10, Route 11, Route 17, Route 18, Route 26, Route 30, Route 36, Route 38, Route 74, Route 110, Route 118, Route 138, Route 172, Route 195, Route 206, Route 236, Route 248,
Route 259, Route 262, US 40, US 48, US 60, US 70, US 66, US 91, US 99, US 395, LRN 5, LRN 9, LRN 26, LRN 31, LRN 35, LRN 42, LRN 43, LRN 44, LRN 59,
LRN 154, LRN 161, LRN 171, LRN 172, LRN 173, LRN 186, LRN 190, LRN 191,
LRN 205, LRN 240.
As the Maps page is rapidly turning to a "research starting point" page,
added a link to the AASHTO Route Numbering Archive, which is a great starting point for researching the history of US and Interstate numbering. Adding this, in
preparation for the bonus podcast episode on the LA Metro Archives, led to
updating and correcting a number of links on the map pages that had gone
stale, and adding in a few more links, especially some meta links like the
Digital Library Directory.
Reviewed the Pending Legislation page, based on the California Legislature site, for bills through 2025-10-19. As usual, I recommend to every Californian
that they visit the legislative website regularly and see what their
legis-critters are doing. As many people are unfamiliar with how the
legislature operates (and why there are so many "non-substantive changes"
and "gut and amend" bills), I've added the legislative calendar (updated for 2025) to the end of the Pending Legislation page. Noted the passage of the following bills / resolutions:
- AB 5 (Berman) Elections: official canvass.
Existing law requires elections officials to commence the canvass for an
election no later than the Thursday following the election and to make
the canvass open to the public. Existing law requires the canvass to be
continued daily, Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays excepted, for not less
than six hours each day until completed. Existing law requires elections
officials to prepare a certified statement of the results of the
election within 30 days of the election and to send the Secretary of
State a complete copy of all election results within 31 days of the
election. Existing law requires the Secretary of State to prepare,
certify, and file a statement of the vote no later than the 38th
day after the election.
This bill would require elections officials, on or before the 13th
day following an election, to finish counting all ballots, with
certain exceptions, including provisional ballots and ballots for
which the voter must either verify or provide a signature, and release
a vote count for those ballots. If an elections official will not meet
that deadline, they would be required to file a notice of extension,
including the reason for the extension, with the Secretary of State.
By increasing the duties of county elections officials, the bill would
impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates
determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory
provisions noted above.
10/03/25 Chaptered by Secretary of State -
Chapter 250, Statutes of 2025.
- AB 697 (Wilson) Protected species: authorized take: State Route 37 project.
Existing law, the California Endangered Species Act, prohibits the
taking of an endangered or threatened species, except in certain
situations, including, if specified conditions are met, under a permit
issued by the Department of Fish and Wildlife commonly known as an
incidental take permit. Existing law also enumerates fully protected
species and prohibits the take of fully protected species, except
under limited circumstances.
This bill would permit the department to authorize, under the
California Endangered Species Act, the incidental take of specified
fully protected species resulting from impacts attributable to a
specified project on State Route 3, if certain conditions are met,
including, among others, the conditions required for the issuance of
an incidental take permit.
[Note: The specified project is Sears Point to
Mare Island Improvement Project on State Route 37 from east of
Lakeville Highway near State Route 121 in the County of Sonoma to west
of Sacramento Street in the County of Solano]
10/07/25 Chaptered by Secretary of State -
Chapter 438, Statutes of 2025.
- AB 1085 (Stefani) License plates: obstruction or alteration.
Existing law prohibits a person from erasing the reflective coating of,
painting over the reflective coating of, or altering a license plate to
avoid visual or electronic capture of the license plate or its
characters by state or local law enforcement. Existing law prohibits a
person from installing or affixing on a vehicle a casing, shield, frame,
border, product, or other device that obstructs or impairs the reading
or recognition of a license plate by an electronic device operated by
state or local law enforcement, an electronic device operated in
connection with a toll road, high-occupancy toll lane, toll bridge, or
other toll facility, or a remote emission sensing device, as specified.
Existing law also prohibits the sale of a product or device that
obscures, or is intended to obscure, the reading or recognition of a
license plate by visual means, or by an electronic device in violation
of the above-described provisions. A conviction for a violation of this
provision is punishable by a fine of two hundred fifty dollars $250 per
item sold or per violation. A violation of the Vehicle Code is a crime.
This bill would further prohibit a person from installing or affixing
a shade or tint that obstructs the reading or recognition of a license
plate by an electronic device operated by state or local law
enforcement, an electronic device operated in connection with a toll
road, high-occupancy toll lane, toll bridge, or other toll facility,
or a remote emission sensing device, as specified. The bill would
further prohibit the manufacture of these products and devices in the
state and impose a $1,000 fine per item sold or manufactured for a
violation of these provisions. The bill would also make clarifying
changes. By creating a new crime, this bill would impose a
state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act
for a specified reason.
[Good! One of the things that bothers me are
all these folks with license plate wraps to change colors (white on
black, blue on black, red on black, green on black, etc.) or with
covers to evade toll readers. -- DPF]
10/01/25 Chaptered by Secretary of State -
Chapter 179, Statutes of 2025.
- ACR 21 (Flora) Galt Police Officer Harminder Grewal Memorial Highway.
Designates the section of Route 99 between the Collier Road
Overcrossing № 29-0137 (SJ 036.667) and Begin Bridge No Channel
Dry Cr № 24-0030R (SJ 038.766) in the County of San Joaquin as
the “Galt Police Officer Harminder Grewal Memorial Highway”.
09/10/25 Chaptered by Secretary of State - Res.
Chapter 175, Statutes of 2025.
- SB 22 (Laird) Gift certificates.
Existing law provides that a gift certificate, sold after January 1,
1997, is redeemable in cash or subject to replacement with a new gift
certificate except that a gift certificate with a cash value of less
than $10 is redeemable in cash for its cash value. For purposes of
these provisions, existing law defines “gift certificate”
to include gift cards.
This bill would, instead, make a gift certificate with a cash value
of less than $15 redeemable in cash for its cash value, exempt from
that redemption provision certain gift certificates that are donated
to a nonprofit or a charitable organization, as provided, and make
these provisions operative on April 1, 2026. The bill would expand the
definition of “gift certificate” to include electronic
gift cards. The bill would also make conforming changes.
10/01/25 Chaptered by Secretary of State.
Chapter 207, Statutes of 2025.
- SB 30 (Cortese) Transportation: diesel trains and rolling stock: resale restrictions.
Existing law provides various provisions applicable to all public
transit and transit districts and includes specific requirements
applicable to public entities that operate commuter rail or rail
transit systems.
This bill would prohibit a public entity that owns diesel-powered
on-track equipment from selling, donating, or otherwise transferring
ownership of that equipment for continued use after the public entity
decommissions the equipment. The bill would exempt the sale, donation,
or transfer of the ownership of that equipment from the prohibition if
the equipment is deemed to be in one of specified categories of
emissions standards designated by the federal government for
locomotives, the equipment produces emissions equivalent to any
equipment within any of those federal categories, or the diesel engine
is removed from the equipment, as specified.
10/13/25 Chaptered by Secretary of State.
Chapter 735, Statutes of 2025.
- SB 78 (Seyarto) Department of Transportation: report: state highway system: safety enhancements.
Existing law establishes the Department of Transportation and vests
it with full possession and control of the state highway system.
This bill would require the department to prepare a report evaluating
current efforts and potential opportunities to streamline the
processes and procedures for the delivery of safety enhancement
projects on the state highway system, as specified. The bill would
require the department to submit the report to the Legislature on or
before January 1, 2027.
10/13/25 Chaptered by Secretary of State.
Chapter 743, Statutes of 2025.
- SB 506 (Committee on Transportation) Transportation: omnibus bill.
(1) Existing law establishes the Tri-Valley-San Joaquin Valley
Regional Rail Authority for purposes of planning, developing, and
delivering cost-effective and responsive transit connectivity between
the Bay Area Rapid Transit District’s rapid transit system and
the Altamont Corridor Express commuter rail service in the Tri-Valley
that meets the goals and objectives of the community, as specified.
Existing law requires the authority’s governing board to be
composed of 15 representatives.
The bill would replace the Mountain House Community Services District
with the City of Mountain House on the authority’s governing
board.
(2) Existing law, the Treasure Island Transportation Management Act,
authorizes the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San
Francisco to designate a board or agency to act as the transportation
management agency for Treasure Island, defined to also include Yerba
Buena Island. Existing law authorizes the board of supervisors and the
San Francisco County Transportation Authority, by a 2/3 majority vote
of both bodies, to adopt a program of imposing congestion pricing fees
for motor vehicles exiting and entering Treasure Island and an initial
congestion pricing fee structure, as specified. Existing law requires
that, once adopted, the congestion pricing program may only be
terminated by the recommendation of both the Treasure Island
Development Authority and the Treasure Island Mobility Management
Agency followed by a 2/3 majority vote of both the board of
supervisors and the transportation authority. Prior to imposing the
initial congestion pricing fees, existing law requires the board of
supervisors and transportation authority to each make a finding of
fact by a 2/3 majority vote that the congestion pricing fees have a
relationship or benefit to the motor vehicle drivers who are paying
the fee.
This bill would delete references to the San Francisco County
Transportation Authority from the provisions described above, thereby
removing those duties from the transportation authority. The bill
would also make conforming changes.
(3) Existing law requires that each application for an original or a
renewal of a driver’s license contain certain information,
including the applicant’s true full name, age, mailing address,
and gender. Existing law also provides that if a driver’s
license is lost, destroyed, or mutilated, or if a new true full name
is acquired, the person to whom the driver’s license was issued
shall obtain a duplicate if the person provides satisfactory proof of
the loss, destruction, or mutilation. A violation of these provisions
is an infraction.
This bill would authorize a person who submits a change of address,
as specified, to apply for a duplicate driver’s license. The
bill would require the applicant who receives a duplicate through this
process to immediately destroy the license containing the prior
mailing address. By creating a new crime, this bill would impose a
state-mandated local program.
(4) Existing law generally prohibits any person from driving any
motor vehicle with any object or material placed, displayed,
installed, affixed, or applied in or upon the vehicle that obstructs
or reduces the driver’s clear view through the windshield or
side windows. Existing law provides exceptions to this prohibition,
including, among other things, a video event recorder in a commercial
motor vehicle with the capability of monitoring driver performance to
improve driver safety, as specified.
This bill would revise the above-described exception to instead apply
to vehicle safety technology, as defined, installed on specified
vehicles, including, among others, motortrucks of 3 or more axles that
are more than 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating, that are
otherwise in compliance with federal regulations, as specified.
(5) Existing law requires the Department of the California Highway
Patrol to adopt reasonable rules and regulations that, in the judgment
of the department, are designed to promote the safe operation of
vehicles, including hours-of-service regulations for drivers of those
vehicles that are consistent with specified federal hours-of-service
regulations applicable to motor carriers. Existing law establishes
exceptions to these regulations for vehicles engaged in intrastate
commerce that are not transporting hazardous substances or hazardous
waste, including a driver of a truck or truck tractor, except for a
driver of a tank vehicle with a capacity of more than 500 gallons
transporting flammable liquid, as specified. Existing law authorizes
the department to create an exception for a driver, by regulation, of
a tank vehicle with a capacity of more than 500 gallons to exceed the
maximum driving time, provided that those regulations are consistent
with federal laws and regulations, during a state of emergency
declared by the Governor and for the purpose of refueling aircraft
used in emergency-related activities.
This bill would remove the requirement that this exception be
consistent with federal laws and regulations and would remove the
requirement that the exception be limited to the driver of a tank
vehicle with a capacity of more than 500 gallons. The bill would also
make certain technical, nonsubstantive changes.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act
for a specified reason.
10/06/25 Chaptered by Secretary of State.
Chapter 417, Statutes of 2025.
- SB 800 (Reyes) State overpasses: suicide prevention.
Existing law requires the Department of Transportation to install
screening on state freeway overpasses to prevent objects from being
dropped or thrown upon vehicles passing underneath, as provided..
This bill would require, beginning on or before July 1, 2028, the
Department of Transportation, in consultation with the State
Department of Public Health and in collaboration with impacted local
governments, to incorporate suicide deterrent considerations in the
updates of applicable guidance documents, as provided.
10/06/25 Chaptered by Secretary of State.

- SCR 90 (Grove) Brigadier General Charles Young Memorial Highway.
Rescinds the designation in honor of Colonel Charles Young made by
ACR 142 (Resolution Chapter 143 of the Statutes of 2018) designating a
specified portion of Route 198 as the “Colonel Charles Young
Memorial Highway” and redesignates the portion of Route 198, extending from the Salt Creek Road (TUL 41.226) to the end at
Sequoia National Park (~ TUL 44.163) in the County of Tulare, as the
“Brigadier General Charles Young Memorial Highway”.
09/03/25 Chaptered by Secretary of State. Res.
Chapter 164, Statutes of 2025.
Reviewed the online agenda of the California Coastal Commission for the August, September, and October meetings. The following was of interest:
- (October) October 2025 Permit Amendment No. 1-18-1078-A4 (Caltrans,
Eureka-Arcata Highway 101 Corridor Project Amendment, Humboldt Co.).
Construction of the Eureka-Arcata Route 101 Corridor Improvement Project
on US 101 including: installation of median crossing closures;
construction of new interchange at Indianola cutoff; extensions of
highway acceleration & deceleration lanes; replacement of southbound
Jacoby Creek Bridge; replacement of bridge rails on northbound Jacoby
Creek and Gannon Slough Bridges; replacement of tide gates; and other
roadway improvements.
I checked California Transportation Commission page for the results of the August and October 2025 meetings of the California Transportation Commission. As always, note that I tend not to track items that do not impact these pages — i.e., pavement rehabilitation or
replacement, landscaping, drainage, culverts, roadside facilities,
charging stations, or other things that do not impact the routing or
history, unless they are really significant. As such, the following items
were of interest:

- SHOPP Safety Sub-Allocations (2.5f.(3)): $35,219,000 for seven
projects.
- Minor G-19-05a Allocations (2.5f.(4)): $1,466,000 for two projects.
The following projects were of interest for
the highway pages. Uninteresting projects included emergency storm
damage mitigation that was primarily repairs; repairing damage from
unhoused individuals; and damage from accidents, because all of these
eventually restore the facility to the condition it was in before the
emergency (and thus there is no new facility or significant change to
the facility).

Street to Santa Fe Avenue. A fire broke out in the early hours of
November 11, 2023 around 14th Street, at the westbound
Route 10 offramp to Alameda Street, and engulfed flammable materials
such as wood pallets underneath Route 10. The fire quickly spread, and
melted bridge railing and damaged concrete on bridge columns and the
underside of the bridge structure. This project will remove and clean
hazardous materials and debris from the project site. Abatement is
being sought from the responsible party. The first supplemental was
necessary to provide site security, convert an open channel to a box
culvert to accommodate construction vehicles, and to continue removing
hazardous waste from this location, which was more extensive than
originally estimated. This second supplemental is necessary to repair
the electrical and lighting systems damaged by the initial event that
were not originally included in the scope. Additional construction
support resources needed to address the additional working days to
complete the project. Construction funds allocated: (1) Initial G-11

0225000091; EA 2K540. Route 36 Near Westwood, from 2.7 miles to 6.7
miles east of Goodrich Creek Bridge. On January 8, 2025, an earthquake
occurred in the region. The geological activity has caused pavement
deformations along a fault line that crosses the roadway. This fault
may stay active for months after the earthquake. By February 8, 2025,
the continued geological activity resulted in elevation differential
and surface cracking on the traveled way. This project will grind,
pave, and maintain pulverized roadway surface to allow safe passage of
motorists, repair failed slopes, permanently repair the pavement when
the seismic activity subsides, and perform geotechnical investigations
for a long- term strategy for this earthquake prone area. Due to
elevation differential, the roadway is being maintained for safe
traffic flow. The current rate of movement has increased up to 4
inches per day with a cumulative vertical displacement of
approximately 30 feet, necessitating frequent excavation and near
daily grading. To minimize the potential for road closures, this
supplemental is necessary to construct a two-lane temporary detour to
circumvent the unstable fault-slide zone while the solutions for a
permanent strategy are being explored in this area of active seismic
activity. Construction funds allocated: (1) Initial G-11 Allocation

July 2025:
This update covers the rest of April, May, June, and July 2025. Before we
dive into the updates to the California Highways site, an update on the California Highways: Route by Route podcast. As always, you can keep up with the show at the podcast's forever home at https://www.caroutebyroute.org , the show's page on Spotify for Podcasters, or you can subscribe through your favorite podcaster or via the RSS feeds (CARxR, Spotify for Podcasters) . The following episodes have been posted since the last update just
before the end of April:
- April | CA RxR 3.10: I-5: Gateway to Oregon. Episode 3.10 completes our exploration of I-5, looking at the segment that was former US 99,
LRN 3, between Red Bluff and the Oregon Border. Along the way, we visit
Red Bluff, Anderson and Redding, the Lake Shasta Area, Dunsmuir, Mt.
Shasta, Weed, Yreka, and run into a California Agricultural Inspector
who was trapped in a bottle by a witch. Our next episode will move us to
the next highway, looking at US 6 and all things Route 6 in California.
(Spotify for Podcasters)
- May | CA RxR 3.11: US 6: A Major Route no More. With Episode 3.11, we turn our attention to Route 6, better known as US 6. As is our
tradition, we start by looking into the 6th state highway,
and the LRN 6, and then the route that was originally signed as Sign
Route 6. We then turn our attention to US 6, looking at the history of
the route, and the historical routings in Long Beach, Los Angeles,
Newhall, the Antelope Valley, the Eastern Sierras, and Bishop. We also
talk about El Camino Sierra, the Midland Trail, and the proposals for
trans-Sierra highways that would have included US 6. Lastly, we look at
US 6 today: the portion between Bishop and the Nevada State line. Next
up: The last episode of Season 3, where we talk about Route 7: both the
current short route near the border, and the more interesting historical
routings of LRN 7, Sign Route 7, and the original 1964 Route 7. (Spotify for Podcasters)
- June | CA RxR 3.12: Route 7: From Long Beach to the Border. Episode 3.12 brings Season 3 to a close, modulo our bonus episodes. In Episode
3.12, we explore all things Route 7. As is our tradition, we start by
looking into the 7th state highway, the Kings River Canyon
Road, and LRN 7, which included portions of US 40 and US 99W. We then
turn our attention to various incarnations of Route 7: Sign Route 7,
both the section along the Eastern Sierras that is now US 395 and US 6
and the section that became Sepulveda Blvd in Los Angeles; 1964-1981
Route 7, which was the Long Beach Freeway before it was renumbered into
I-710; and the current Route 7, which is a small border connection route
near a new entry point near Calexico. We’ll then be taking a short
break, during which there will be some bonus episodes. We’ll pick
up in the fall with Season 4, which will cover Route 8 through Route 14.
I’m also going to be working on improving the sound quality of the
podcast once I retire in July. (Spotify for Podcasters)
- July | CA RxR 3.13: Fresno Flats (Bonus). Episode 3.13 is our first bonus episode, bridging the gap while we write Season 4. This bonus
episode is a presentation that our co-host, Tom Fearer, gave at the
Fresno Flats museum back in May 2025. The presentation focuses on the
highways of the Oakhurst area, and was described as: “Since the
establishment of the Stockton-Los Angeles Road in 1853 the Sierra Nevada
foothills of what is now Madera County has been a hub of highway
development. Much of the existing infrastructure in the area was
established by the late 1880s with the plotting of the Fresno-Fresno
Flats Road and Yosemite Stage Road. The area was of great interest
during the early State Highway era due to the desirable access it could
provide for logging interests and automotive based recreational travel
to Yosemite National Park. Even Minaret Summit was briefly considered
for a proposed extension of Interstate 70 into California before the era
of environmental impact assessment began.” We’ll pick up in
the fall with Season 4, which will cover Route 8 through Route 14. (Spotify for Podcasters)
Turning to the updates to the California Highways pages: Updates were
made to the following highways, based on my reading of the (virtual)
papers and my research for the fourth season of the podcast in June and
July 2025 (which are posted to the roadgeeking category at the "Observations Along The Road" and to the California Highways Facebook group) as well as any backed up email changes. I also reviewed the the AAroads forum (Ꜳ). This resulted in changes on the following routes, with credit as indicated [my research(ℱ), contributions

(Source: private email through 8/7/2025, Highway headline posts
through the July 2025 Headline post, AARoads through 8/7/2025)
Started work on Season 4 of the Route by Route podcast. This resulted in
changes and updates to the following routes: LRN 5, LRN 21, LRN 30, Sign
Route 8, I-8, US 80, Sign Route 88, Sign Route 104, Route 109, Route 115,
County Sign Route S2, County Sign Route S80
Updated almost every route page (sigh—good thing I'm retired) to
adjust to the AARoads change in page references.
Added a good link to a bridge inspection website: Bridge Inspections: California
Reviewed the Pending Legislation page, based on the California Legislature site, for bills through 2025-08-08. As usual, I recommend to every Californian
that they visit the legislative website regularly and see what their
legis-critters are doing. As many people are unfamiliar with how the
legislature operates (and why there are so many "non-substantive changes"
and "gut and amend" bills), I've added the legislative calendar (updated for 2025) to the end of the Pending Legislation page. Noted the passage of the following bills / resolutions:
- AB 1051 (Davies) Route 76:
Payómkawish Highway.
Existing law vests the Department of Transportation with full
possession and control of all state highways. Existing law provides
for the California Transportation Commission to adopt locations for
state highways on routes authorized by law, and describes the
authorized routes in the state highway system, including that for
Route 76, as provided.
This bill would name and designate specified portions of Route 76 as
the “Payómkawish Highway.” The bill would require the
department to determine the cost of appropriate signs showing this
special designation and, upon receiving sufficient donations from
nonstate sources to cover those costs, to erect those signs.
07/30/25 Chaptered by Secretary of State -
Chapter 86, Statutes of 2025.
- ACR 16 (Gallagher) The POW/MIA Bridge.
Designates the Feather River Bridge and Overhead (Bridge №
18-0009) on Route 20 from PM SUT 17.001 in the County of Sutter, City
of Marysville, to PM YUB 0.450 in the County of Yuba, City of Yuba
City as the “POW/MIA Bridge”.

Reviewed the online agenda of the California Coastal Commission for the April, May, June, and July meetings. Nothing rose to the level of interest for
the highway pages.
I checked California Transportation Commission page for the results of the April, May, and June 2025 meetings of the California Transportation Commission. As always, note that I tend not to track items that do not impact these pages — i.e., pavement rehabilitation
or replacement, landscaping, drainage, culverts, roadside facilities,
charging stations, or other things that do not impact the routing or
history, unless they are really significant. As such, the following items
were of interest:
[ Note: ° indicates items that were
below the level of detail for updating the specific route pages; ♠ is an indicator used to keep
track of what has been added to the pages; ❧
indicates the results from the meeting, if the meeting minutes
were available. ]

$29,087. Note: Increase in R/W capital is due to the need
for offsite mitigation which was originally anticipated to be onsite.
Decrease in construction capital is due to eliminating the left-turn
lane and widening scope at one of the locations where the commercial
business closed and the work is no longer warranted. Change in
performance measures is to reflect the new methodology.

- Minor G-19-05a Allocations (2.5f.(4)): $8,891,000 for nine projects.
The following projects were of interest for
the highway pages. Uninteresting projects included emergency storm
damage mitigation that was primarily repairs; repairing damage from
unhoused individuals; and damage from accidents, because all of these
eventually restore the facility to the condition it was in before the
emergency (and thus there is no new facility or significant change to
the facility).

0723000290; EA 2XJ10. In the city of Los Angeles, on Route 5, Route 10, US 101, and Route 110, at various locations. Vandalization
has resulted in up to 40% of freeway lights to become
non-operational, and has impacted the data and video communications
to the Los Angeles Regional Transportation Management Center
(LARTMC). This project will replace electrical wiring, replace fiber
optic cables and terminals, and repair and harden conduits,
cabinets, and pull boxes. The extent of copper wire theft and
vandalism of electrical systems was far more extensive. Additional
theft and vandalism also occurred after the beginning of this
project in downtown Los Angeles where four major routes (Route 5,
10, 101, and 110) interconnect. This supplemental is necessary due
to increase in quantities of the original work due to theft and
vandalism. Construction funds allocated: (·) Initial
G-11 Allocation 07/06/2023: $4,230,000; (·) Supplemental G-11
Allocation 04/01/2025: $8,525,000; (·) Revised Allocation:
$12,755,000. [Note: This isn't going on
the highway pages, but is here to highlight the impact of copper
theft vandalism. As the price of copper goes up, the vandalism goes
up as well (and we are placing higher tariffs on countries that
supply us with copper, meaning the prices will be going up, creating
the potential for increased copper vandalism on highways.]

March 2025:
This update covers January, February, March, and some of April 2025.
Before we dive into the updates to the California Highways site, an update
on the California Highways: Route by Route podcast. As always, you can keep up with the show at the podcast's forever home at https://www.caroutebyroute.org , the show's page on Spotify for Podcasters, or you can subscribe through your favorite podcaster or via the RSS feeds (CARxR, Spotify for Podcasters) . The following episodes have been posted since the last update just
before the end of December:
- December | CA RxR 3.05p2: I-5: San Diego to Los Angeles (Part 2). In this episode, we continue our exploration of I-5, the central spine of
California. We’re splitting the discussion over 6 episodes, some
of which are two-parters. This first episode (a two-parter) looks at the
former US 101 segment, from the Mexico Border to Downtown Los Angeles.
Part 2, this part, looks at the projects along this segment of I-5, as
well as some of the more significant names. Go back to part 1 for a
discussion of all things 5: Maritime Highway M-5, the 5th
state highway, Legislative Route 5, Sign Route 5, and then I-5. For I-5,
we look at the history of the route, and the pieces that led to first
the US 101 Bypass and then I-5 in this area. Subsequent episodes will be
looking at (3.06) from Downtown LA to Wheeler Ridge, where Route 99
splits, including the Ridge Route; (3.07) the Westerly Routing; (3.08)
the planned I-5W; (3.09) the former US 99W portion from Sacramento to
Redding; and (3.09) the portion from Redding to the Oregon Border. (Spotify for Creators)
- January | CA RxR 3.06p1: I-5: Whatever Became of the Ridge Route? (Part 1): Our I-5 exploration continues, with a focus on the segment of I-5 from
the US 101 split in Downtown Los Angeles to the Route 99 split in
Wheeler Ridge. This episode, Part 1 of 3.06, after a recap on LRN 5 and
Sign Route 5, focuses on the history of I-5 from Downtown LA (DTLA) to
and through the Newhall Pass. We explore the history of LRN 4 and LRN 161, the timeline of freeway construction to and through Burbank, the
history of Route 5S (Colorado Blvd), and a dive into the history of
routings through the Newhall Pass and in Saugus. We also talk about the
Interstate number submissions for I-5, and have some updates on the
projects we discussed in Episode 3.05p2. Our special guest this episode
is Sydney Croasmun of the Ridge Route Preservation Organization. Sydney
brings her expertise to our discussion in Part 2, when we’re going
in detail over the Ridge Route. Part 2 also discusses projects and
naming in this section, especially the history of the
“Grapevine” name. Subsequent episodes will be looking at
(3.07) the Westerly Routing; (3.08) the planned I-5W; (3.09) the former
US 99W portion from Sacramento to Redding; and (3.09) the portion from
Redding to the Oregon Border. (Spotify for Creators)
- January | CA RxR 3.06p2: I-5: Whatever Became of the Ridge Route? (Part 2): Our I-5 exploration continues, with a focus on the segment of I-5 from
the US 101 split in Downtown Los Angeles to the Route 99 split in
Wheeler Ridge. This episode, Part 2 of 3.06, completes the history from
Part 1 with a detailed dive into the history of the Ridge Route. After
that, we discuss major projects in this segment of I-5, as well as
historical and memorial names. This includes our second deep dive into
the history of the “Grapevine” name. Our special guest this
episode is Sydney Croasmun of the Ridge Route Preservation Organization.
Sydney brings her expertise our Ridge Route discussion, and also
discusses the goals and activities of the RRPO. Subsequent episodes will
be looking at (3.07) the Westerly Routing; (3.08) the planned I-5W;
(3.09) the former US 99W portion from Sacramento to Redding; and (3.09)
the portion from Redding to the Oregon Border. (Spotify for Creators)
- February | CA RxR 3.07: I-5: The Central Valley: Next up in our exploration of I-5: the segment between the I-5 / Route 99 split and
where I-5 meets former US 99W (now Route 113) in Woodland. Generally
known as the “Westside Highway”, this was mostly a
completely new routing for I-5 along LRN 238, although some portions
paralleled former US 50 between Stockton and Sacramento, and Sign Route 16 between Sacramento and near Route 113 in Woodland/Yolo. As usual, we
cover the history of the route, naming, and projects. Subsequent
episodes will be looking at (3.08) the planned I-5W; (3.09) the former
US 99W portion from Sacramento to Redding; and (3.09) the portion from
Redding to the Oregon Border. (Spotify for Creators)
- March | CA RxR 3.08: I-5: Whatever Happened to I-5W. Episode 3.08 continues our exploration of I-5 with a slight digression: A discussion
about I-5W. In the late 1950s, I-5W was proposed as a spur route from
I-5 running along what is today Route 132, I-580 (both the Tracy
Diagonal and the former US 50 portion between the I-205/I-580 junction
and Oakland/Berkeley), I-80 between Berkeley and near Vacaville, and
I-505 between Vacaville and I-5. This short episode explores these
pieces and their history. In Episode 3.09, we return to I-5 proper when
we explore the former US 99W section of I-5 between Woodland and Red
Bluff. (Spotify for Creators)
- April | CA RxR 3.09: I-5: Former US 99W. Episode 3.09 continues our exploration of I-5 with the segment from Sacramento to Red Bluff, which
primarily incorporates the former LRN 7 / US 99W routing between
Woodland and Red Bluff, and a new routing that roughly followed LRN 238,
then LRN 50 and LRN 232 between Sacramento and Woodland (near former
Sign Route 16 and Sign Route 24). We talk about this history of this
segment, as well as some discussion of historical routings in Natomas,
Woodland, Williams, Willows, Corning, and Red Bluff. Our exploration of
I-5 finishes in Episode 3.10, where we explore the former LRN 3/US 99
segment between Red Bluff and the Oregon Border. (Spotify for Creators)
Turning to the updates to the California Highways pages: Updates were
made to the following highways, based on my reading of the (virtual)
papers and my research for the podcast in January and February 2025 (which
are posted to the roadgeeking category at the "Observations Along The Road" and to the California Highways Facebook group) as well as any backed up email changes. I also reviewed the the AAroads forum (Ꜳ). This resulted in changes on the following routes, with credit as indicated [my research(ℱ), contributions

Added the 1925 Highway Advisory Committee Report(4) to the
Chronology pages. Added a lot of information from "The Implications of Freeway Siting in California: Four Case Studies on the Effects of Freeways on Neighborhoods of Color", UCLA Inst. for Transportation Studies, 2023 to a number of pages (I-210, Route 118,
I-5, US 50, Route 99, Route 51, I-280, I-680). I mention the report in
particular because it contains a lot of useful historic information on the
freeway planning and construction. The report is also at risk
from the current political administration, as due to their hatred of
anything DEI, it is subject to removal. Whether or not you agree with the
administration, historical information such as this (as well as related articles and sites) should be preserved.
(Source: private email through 4/26/2025, Highway headline posts
through the March 2025 Headline post, AARoads through 4/22/2025)
Made more updates to pages based on podcast research, and the various
rabbit-holes that research takes me down: LRN 4, US 6, LRN 6, Sign Route 7, LRN 7, LRN 8, Route 14, Route 21, LRN 23, LRN 26, Route 29, Route 37,
US 40, LRN 74, LRN 79, US 99, US 101, Route 103, Route 121, Route 126,
Route 134, Route 141, LRN 161, Route 163, Route 170, Route 190, Route 221,
LRN 240, LRN 265, US 395, I-680, I-710, I-780.
Added back links to Mark Furqueron's pages, which are still out on the Internet Archive. Did some additional updates to the map page links, as I discovered some sources have gone away or
changed URLs.
Reviewed the Pending Legislation page, based on the California Legislature site, for bills through 2025-04-05. As usual, I recommend to every Californian
that they visit the legislative website regularly and see what their
legis-critters are doing. As many people are unfamiliar with how the
legislature operates (and why there are so many "non-substantive changes"
and "gut and amend" bills), I've added the legislative calendar (updated for 2025) to the end of the Pending Legislation page.We're early in the legislative session, when legislators
justify their pay by introducing lots of legislation, most of which goes
nowhere. They also introduce lots of "non-substantive changes"
legislation, which allows them to amend the legislation later in the
session, after the deadline to introduce new bills have passed. By the
way, this is what makes monitoring legislation hard: by the end of a
session, a bill may have changed into something completely unrelated to
the original bill introduced. More significantly, a non-transportation or
non-substantive transportation bill may have morphed into something of
interest. So far, in this session, it is just deciding what to monitor.
Reviewed the online agenda of the California Coastal Commission. There was no meeting in January. In the February and March meetings, the only item of
interest related to Route 1 in Big Sur.
I checked California Transportation Commission page for the results of the January and March 2025 meetings of the California Transportation Commission. As always, note that I tend not to track items that do not impact these pages — i.e., pavement rehabilitation or
replacement, landscaping, drainage, culverts, roadside facilities,
charging stations, or other things that do not impact the routing or
history, unless they are really significant. As such, the following items
were of interest:

realign pavement delineation around the slide area, and adjust the
loop detectors and signal heads. Note: The Tramonto Slide is located
in the hills above Pacific Coast Highway in LA and has been moving
intermittently from 1936 to present. The heavy rains of February and
March 2024 saturated the slopes that resulted in new movement. The
slide encroached into the northbound #2 lane that has resulted in
significant delays. The permanent solution needs to start at the top
of the slide and is City of LA's responsibility. This project will
provide an interim measure. This project will remove the existing curb
and pave the southbound shoulder, realign the pavement delineation
around the slide area, and adjust the loop detectors and signal heads.
Abatement will be sought from the City of LA. Allocation ($ ×

steel to pre-cast concrete panels for deck replacement, reducing the
construction capital. Increase in R/W capital is due to six additional
temporary easements required. Increase in construction support is due
to increase in number of working days to account for preliminary
construction work needed prior to full closure of the bridge during
construction and due to complexity of establishing detours. Allocation

Beginning February 3, 2024, an atmospheric river brought heavy rain to
the region. On February 8, 2024, a rock slide occurred, blocking both
lanes of the traveled way, leaving no access to isolated residents in
the area due to another slide south of this location. This project
will remove slide material, restore roadway, and install rock fall
netting. A first supplemental was needed due to cost increases for off
hauling the slide material, increased rock fall protection, additional
blasting operations, weather delays, and limited access due to other
active emergency response projects adjacent to this project. This
second supplemental is needed due to cost increases for additional
slide material removal and increased trucking cost due to other active
emergency response projects adjacent to this project no longer able to
receive this project's stockpiled slide material as originally
planned. Allocation: CONST $5,050,000.
