County Route E16 is a rural highway found in the Sierra Nevada range of El Dorado County and Amador County. This highway is 33.21 miles long and was designated in 1967 between California State Route 49 in Plymouth east to US Route 50 in Pollock Pines. The corridor functionally acts as a continuation of California State Route 16 east of the Plymouth area. The portion north of Mormon Emigrant Trail is part of US Route 50 Alternate. This alternate route was commissioned during the winter of 1997/1998 following slide closures on mainline US Route 50.

Funny, I always thought of it more as a 124 continuation given they are both south-north routes in the same general area. Although I'm guessing the "Old Sacramento Road" used to be part of CA-16?

Never was actually. Between 1919-1933 LRN 54 was actually Drytown-Michigan Bar. Even in that era Old Sacramento Road to Plymouth had been bypassed.
Hmm. I can't seem to find that old Alt 50 distance sign on Mormon Emigrant Trail. Even the Alt 50 package at Meyers/CA 89 is gone.
