Former California State Route 29 on Washington Street in Yountville

[Max Rockatansky]

Yountville is a city located in Napa Valley along California State Route 29.  When the highway was commissioned in 1934 it originally passed through the community via Washington Street.  Yountville would be bypassed during 1959 when the first two lanes of the St. Helena Highway were completed.  The current freeway grade of California State Route 29 in Yountville was built over the original alignment of the Napa Valley Railroad.  Pictured as the blog cover is the 1888 Southern Pacific Railroad Depot which can be found on Washington Street.
