I published photos from Lacey but the 137 roundabout appears to be brand new and not quite complete. Outside of that 201, 216, 63, and 65 haven't seen much changes recently.

Thanks much for the info -- I'll probably check out the 43/137 roundabout -- it should be done by late September. I've always liked taking 43 because of the proximity to the BNSF line (photo ops).

Doesn't hurt you can skip a lot of the traffic on 99 to Fresno either. Usually I jump off at Avenue 56 and take that west to 43. 99 is six lanes north of 43 which make it way more tolerable. Compared to 65 there are way less people as well which makes it a more peaceful alternate.

At some point I'll need to shift back over to 99 to get to Bravo Farms in Traver, between Goshen and Kingsburg (have a standing cheese order from friends!). I'll probably access 43 down by Wasco, take it north to 137, then use 137/63/201 and local roads to get to Traver. I'll miss the other roundabouts on 43 north of 198, but will save that for another day.

I don't know how accurate that "END" shield is. There is also an "END" shield on CA-198 well before the entrance gate to the national parks, yet that segment is still maintained by the state. Seems CA-203 ending at the county line is still the legal definition, despite the shield saying otherwise.

Actually 198 is right on the Sequoia National Park boundary line. There is even a new shield and end placard this year. If you go to the Generala Highway thread I believe it is the second picture on the road blog I did.
Tricky thing was I don't recall seeing any mileage markers past that end sign for 203. But then again I wasn't really looking for them either past the shield. I'll check some recent state highway maps when I get home to see if there is a gap to The Madera County line.
Edit: Most of the maps I have are too zoomed out to get an accurate depiction if CA 203 ends at the Madera County line or just east of it. Since the eastern terminus of CA 198 became topical here are some pictures of the new signage that was put up this year:
