Former US Route 99 in Turlock has an interesting history as it always kind of dragged behind the development of the rest of the highway in San Joaquin Valley.  The most notable structure on what was US Route 99 in Turlock was certainly the Turlock Overhead.  What is the Turlock Overhead and where was US Route 99 historically in Turlock?  Listen in to find out or check out of blog series below:

US Route 99 is one of our most frequently covered highways given it's close proximity to me (Tom) in the Central Valley of California.  In this Gribblenation Roadcast we briefly examine the history of US Route 99 in the cites of; Chowchilla, Merced, and Atwater.  If you're inclined for a more detailed analysis the Gribblenation blog page features detail break downs of US Route 99 in Chowchilla, Merced, and Atwater:

Most people who have driven California State Route 1 likely know it from the Big Sur region and probably have never come close to finishing the entire route.  North of the San Francisco Bay area California State Route 1 functions as a coastal loop from US Route 101 via the 210 mile Shoreline Highway.  California State Route 1 as originally conceived was far more ambitious and was originally planned end near Fortuna which would have required traversing the Lost Coast.  Never heard of California's Lost Coast?...give a listen here to find out where it is and why California State Route 1 was never completed as intended.  

More on the unfinished portion of California State Route 1 through the Lost Coast region can be found on the Gribblenation blog site:
