Drivers might catch a glimpse of an outdated U.S Route 99 signal on Tuesday after a part of a 5 Freeway signal fell down.
The signal, situated above the eastbound 134 Freeway at Victory Boulevard, normally instructs drivers to remain in the correct lane for the 5 Freeway and the left lane for State Route 134.
However a part of the signal fell off, revealing a U.S. 99 signal.
From 1926 to 1972, U.S. 99 ran from the Mexican border at Calexico, Calif., to Blaine, Wash., close to the Canadian border. It was often known as the “Golden State Freeway” and was a key journey route for Mud Bowl-era farmworkers within the Nineteen Thirties.
The federal route was finally decommissioned in 1972, largely changed by Interstate 5. California 99 via the Central Valley nonetheless follows a lot of the outdated alignment.
