Route Description and History

Route 108 begins in downtown Modesto at the junction with California 132 (intersection of 9th, "K" and "L" streets). In the past, Route 108 was cosigned with Route 132 to the Route 99 interchange (about 3 blocks west of its current terminus).

In Modesto, Route 108 runs north along McHenry Avenue for about 7 miles before turning eastward to follow the Stanislaus River east-northeast. After following the river about 10 miles, Route 108 passes straight through the heart of downtown Oakdale. The Stanislaus River in California is one of the largest tributaries of the San Joaquin River. ...

At the main intersection in Oakdale, California State Route 120 joins Route 108 from the north and they are co-signed as they continue northeast, climbing into the foothills and passing just south of Knights Ferry. Route 120 brings with it the title Northern Yosemite Highway for this segment; compare SR-132 as the middle route and SR-140 as the southern route to Yosemite. Just past Knights Ferry, Route 108 crosses from Stanislaus County into Tuolumne County, and the road changes from two lanes to four-lane separated highway for about 6 miles, a real advantage because a steep grade is located in middle of this stretch and the extra lanes are valuable as passing lanes both ascending and descending. About a mile after the end of the separated pavement, La Grange Road (County road J59) heads south, passing just west of Lake Don Pedro and meeting SR-132 near the town of La Grange. Another 3 miles eastward, at Yosemite Junction, Route 120 finally separates from Route 108 and heads southward toward to a co-routing with Highway 49 through Chinese Camp and across the upper end of Lake Don Pedro . California State Route 120, in northern California, is the end of the freeways heading east from the San Francisco Bay Area. ...
