| Interstate 215 north & California 60 west |
|
After the split with California 91, the next exit is Exit 34A, California 60 west to Pomona and Los Angeles and Main Street. This "exit" actually consists of two exits: the left three lanes continue west on California 60, while the right three lanes connect to Main Street and act as the mainline for Interstate 215 north. Photo taken 11/10/08. |
|
|
The three-lane ramp splits immediately thereafter, with the left lane of the ramp connecting to Exit 34A, Main Street, and the right two lanes continue as the mainline for Interstate 215 north. Calnexus also lists the Main Street/Orange Street off-ramp as California 60's Exit 52B, due to its prior configuration before the current 60-91-215 interchange was reconstructed. This ramp is the only way to get to the Main Street off-ramp (Exit 52B). Photos taken 05/05/12 and 11/10/08. |

After Interstate 215 departs from the freeway, California 60 again continues along its westbound journey toward Pomona and Los Angeles. Towering transition ramps cross over the freeway, with one carrying Interstate 215 southbound traffic and the other (taller) ramp linking Interstate 215 north/California 60 west with California 91 west. Photos taken 05/05/12. |

Westbound California 60 reaches Exit 42, Etiwanda Avenue, which connects to Mission Boulevard northwest and Van Buren Boulevard southeast. Mission Boulevard continues as Historic U.S. 60, traveling northwest and then west into Pomona before reuniting with Historic U.S. 70-99 in Pomona (and sharing pavement together for the final distance to Los Angeles via the Interstate 10 corridor). U.S. 60-70 used to end in downtown Los Angeles, and might have extended as far west as the Four-Level Interchange (which is the junction of U.S. 101 and California 110 today). Between Pomona and Los Angeles, California 60 was never part of U.S. 60. Photo taken 05/05/12. |

|
Westbound California 60 passes through the Interstate 15 stack interchange. For just a short distance (between Interstate 15 and Hamner Avenue / Former California 31), California 60 passes through the city of Eastvale (population 53,668 as of the 2010 Census; elevation 627 feet; and incorporated on October 1, 2010). Photo taken 05/05/12. |
|
Westbound California 60 reaches Exit 41A, Hamner Avenue south and Milliken Avenue north (former California 31). This sign used to have a California 31 / TEMP I-15 route marker that was scraped off when that state highway was decommissioned; it is difficult to see the residual marks on this sign from when it carried those designations. Prior to the completion of Interstate 15 in the 1980s, California 31 was the north-south state route connecting Corona with Ontario via Hamner Avenue and Milliken Avenue. California 31 was decommissioned in favor of Interstate 15 once the freeway was built; a portion of Hamner Avenue through Norco is currently designated as Business Loop I-15 but is not state-maintained. Photo taken 10/13/12. |

| This series of pictures follows the off-ramp from California 60 west to Exit 41A, Hamner Avenue south and Milliken Avenue north (former California 31). The off-ramp must pass under the transition ramp from Interstate 15 to California 60 west, then approach a traffic signal with the former state route. Note the mileage sign, which provides the distance to Norco and Corona via Hamner Avenue (former California 31) south. No mention is made of Ontario, which lies a short distance north of here. Photo taken 10/13/12. |

Back on the mainline, several power lines cross over California 60 as we look at the off-ramp from California 60 west to Hamner Avenue and Milliken Avenue. Beyond that, look for an on-ramp joining California 60 west from Interstate 15. Photo taken 05/05/12. |
