Expressway section of US 99 south of Castaic Junction.

This section of highway was opened in 1932 and widened in 1948 to a four lane expressway. The weigh station was replaced in 1964 when this section of I-5 was built. The Oleander in the center divider can be found along much of 99 and a few modern freeways. It served two purposes. One was to eliminate the glare from opposing headlights and the other was to create a barrier between traffic lanes.

Go North on US 99 / West SR-126 to Bakersfield / Ventura
