State Route 59

California State Route 59

California 59 is a north-south state route in the Central Valley. It begins at a trumpet interchange with California 152 near El Nido and travels north through Merced to the intersection of Merced Falls Road (Merced County Route J-16) and La Grange Road (Merced County Route J-59) northeast of Snelling. The intersection between these county routes approximates the location of where California 59 would meet with unconstructed/future California 65 near Snelling. Since California 65 does not yet exist near Snelling, California 59 turns north onto La Grange Road as CR J-59. The county route continues north from Snelling to La Grange, changing to Stanislaus County Route J-59 and ultimately Tuolumne County Route J-59 before the county route ends at a junction with California 108-120 west of Jamestown. Coupled with CR J-59 and California 108, California 59 serves as a route connecting Merced with Sonora.
