In the greater Los Angeles area, U.S. 99 was replaced by Interstate 10 from Indio west to downtown Los Angeles and by Interstate 5 from downtown north to Wheeler Ridge, where it split off onto California 99. U.S. 6 was also eliminated from Los Angeles in 1964, and it now terminates in Bishop where it meets U.S. 395 in the Eastern Sierra.
