I found this road while trying to dodge a traffic backup on US 101 in Prunedale and get to the San Juan Grade.  Seemed like it was a fairly interesting little corridors in terms of a drive:

"Echo Valley Road is an approximately three mile connecting highway through the Gablian Range in the Prunedale area.  The corridor begins at Monterey County Route G12 at San Miguel Canyon Road and extends east to an interchange located at US Route 101.  Echo Valley Road originated near the founding of Prunedale during the 1890s but did not become a modernized roadway until the middle of the twentieth century."

Prior to the interchange, Echo Valley Road had a "T" intersection with US 101 just north of the interchange. Caltrans re-aligned the roadway to the interchange and the connection with Crazy Horse Canyon Road prior to the interchange opening in 2013-2014 (I can't remember which).

Here's a GSV showing the old intersection. It looks like the old Echo Valley Rd alignment is now Echo Valley Ct, which ends in a cul-de-sac just north/west of 101.
