U.S. Highway 99 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia U.S. Highway 99 was the West Coast's main north-south route until 1964, one of the original United States highways first proposed in 1926 and one of the few highways that ran from Mexico to Canada. Known also as the "Golden State Highway" and "The Main Street of California," US 99 was an important route in California throughout much of the 1930s as a route for Dust Bowl immigrant farm workers to traverse the state. Though US 99 never achieved the fame or romance that was enjoyed by another California highway, the world-famous Route 66, it was quite possibly a more important one as it linked the entire state, unlike 66. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/U.S._Highway_99

The stretch between Florence and Yachats is considered one of the more attractive segments of this highway, although there are an abundance of Oregon state parks along the Pacific coast. Because Highway 101 forms the main street of almost all of the coastal towns in Oregon (with the exception of Cannon Beach), it is frequently congested and slow. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/United_States_Highway_101

As a denizen of California (in the Los Angeles area for the first 21 years of my life, in the Bay Area since then), I'm focusing on the experience of Highway 99 in California, the road that still defines California's Central (San Joaquin) Valley.

California Highways (www.cahighways.org): Routes 97 through 104 LRN 100 was defined in 1933 as the route from LRN 99 (present-day unsigned Route 84) on Ryer Island to LRN 11 (Route 24 ; present-day Route 160). According to Jeremy Hannon, because of the widening of Route 99 from 4 to 6 lanes from the San Joaquin County Line (southern) to the Route 120 Interchange, the Mofett off-ramp (a left-hand off-ramp) was removed. Route 99 was routed on former Route 24 via Broadway and 3rd/5th to I Street (Route 16) as the WX and West Side (I- 5) freeway reroutings of Route 99 through downtown were not completed. www.cahighways.org /097-104.html

Additionally, a critical link between Interstate 5, Highway 99, and U.S. 50 would be established, allowing commuters and travelers to avoid the heavily congested downtown interchange and alleviating commute and counter-commute congestion on all three freeways. The route will, however, continue west from Natomas Park across Highway 99 to the Sacramento International Airport. www.libertybulletin.com /articles/10007.html
