U.S. 95 South - Riverside County to Arizona

U.S. 95 south
	After the intersection with Business Loop I-10 and U.S. 60-70/Hobson Way east of downtown Blythe, southbound U.S. 95 quickly approaches its interchange with Interstate 10. Photo taken 03/14/09.
	The interchange with Interstate 10 and U.S. 95 (Intake Boulevard) is a standard diamond. The next right connects to Interstate 10 west to Indio, Palm Springs, San Bernardino, Pomona, and Los Angeles. The next left connects to Intersate 10 east and U.S. 95 south to Quartzsite and Phoenix in Arizona. Photo taken 03/14/09.
	Through traffic on U.S. 95 south turns left here to join Interstate 10 east across the Colorado River into Arizona. The two highways share alignment east to Quartzsite, where U.S. 95 turns south toward Yuma and Interstate 10 continues east toward Phoenix and Tucson. Photo taken 03/14/09.
Interstate 10 east and U.S. 95 south
	This Interstate 10 east and U.S. 95 south reassurance shield is posted after the on-ramp from Intake Boulevard. Cosigned Interstate and U.S. routes are rare in California these days; it is more common to find a shared alignment between an Interstate and a California state route. Photo taken 11/10/06.
	This mileage sign provides the distance to three destinations in Arizona: Wickenburg (115 miles), Phoenix (147 miles), and Tucson (263 miles). This is the first appearance of Tucson on a mileage sign, and the sign omits Quartzsite (where Interstate 10 meets Arizona 95 and U.S. 95 splits south toward Yuma). The distance to Wickenburg is via U.S. 60 east, as that city is not on Interstate 10. Photo taken 11/10/06.

	Eastbound Interstate 10 reaches Exit 243, Business Loop I-10 and Riviera Drive. The next interchange along eastbound is Exit 1 to Ehrenberg (after crossing the Colorado River). Photo taken 11/10/06.
	Upon exiting, Riviera Drive proceeds east toward the river, but then it will turn north to pass under the freeway and merge onto Hobsonway (Business Loop I-10) west. Photo taken 11/10/06.
	The next exit along Interstate 10 east and U.S. 95 south is Exit 1, Ehrenberg-Parker Highway north to Ehrenberg, Poston, and Parker in Arizona. Photo taken 11/10/06.
	Interstate 10 crosses the Colorado River on this bridge. Originally, this bridge also carried U.S. 60-70 when it was built in 1960, but the bridge was widened to become Interstate standard in 1974. Photo taken 11/10/06.
	Midway across the span, Interstate 10 and U.S. 95 leave the Golden State of California and enter the Grand Canyon State of Arizona. Photo taken 11/10/06.
