I drove the Cross Town Freeway/CA 4 east from I-5 a couple weeks back to CA 99.  I'm to the understand the western extension of the Cross Town Freeway west to Navy Drive is fairly recent.  The 1965 State Highway Maps shows that the Cross Town Freeway was supposed to extend west over the San Joaquin River to the present surface alignment of CA 4 west of Stockton.

For being a very short freeway, the Crosstown offers a great view of Stockton.  My first time to drive it was June 1974.  To get from 99 to what was then I-5's northern end, it was the route to use.  2013 would be the next time through.  That is when I thought Stockton really looked good during a drive by.

US 101 is THE backbone of the Pacific coast from Bandon OR to Willits CA.  Industry, tourism and local traffic would be gone or severely crippled without it being in functioning condition in BOTH states.

Its not bad, but the route would only increase in usefulness when the section west of Navy Drive gets completed.
