Prunedale Road

[Max Rockatansky]

Prunedale Road is a short 2.6-mile-long frontage corridor of US Route 101 in the namesake Monterey County community of Prunedale.  Prior to 1932 US Route 101 bypassed Prunedale in favor of the San Juan Grade to the east.  Prunedale Road along with nearby Moro Road served as an alternative connecting highway between Salinas and San Juan Bautista.  Following the realignment of US Route 101 onto the Prunedale Cutoff the former through route along Prunedale Road would be rendered as a western frontage.

So the now cancelled Prunedale Bypass in the middle of current US-101 and San Grade?

Yes, pretty much it would have been between both roadways.

I also find it peculiar that the cardinal direction for this road is between the name and the suffix instead of before the name or after the suffix (Prunedale "North" Road)
