I see I didn't post November's headlines. Here's the link: http://cahighways.org/wordpress/?p=12382

Just in case I didn't post October, here's that link as well: http://cahighways.org/wordpress/?p=12244

As usual, ready, set, discuss....

I'll have to get around to checking out the abandoned 163 stub.  When I was working out of San Diego I heard talk about it now and then but never got around to see it.  At some point I'm hoping to get down that way in 2017 for old times sake.

65 really needs to be realigned around Lindsay at some point.  That part of the highway is already pretty dangerous and overburdened with traffic heading in both directions.  Love how the Mom-and-Pop brigade got their two cents in even though they really had not much to do with why the plan was cancelled.

I'm fairly certain that I have some decent photos of the old CA 1 alignment around Point Magu Rock from 2014.  That was one hell of a feat of engineering just to obliterate a side of a mountain for highway to be built.

From article linked in the November post:

Members of the Highway 36 Association traveled to Red Bluff last week with some good news about funding for a much needed highway improvement project near Dinsmore.
...
This will be the last section of Highway 36 to become a conventional two-lane highway
...
Specifics of the project near Dinsmore include realigning and widening State Route 36, making the lanes and shoulder widths standard, realigning curves, and improving roadway cross slopes.
...
The construction project will improve an approximately 4-mile section of State Route 36 from Burr Valley Road to Buck Mountain Road.

I guess we will have to cross CA 36 off the list of California's one-lane state highways.  I'm glad I had time to drive that road this year.
