Route summary
Route G6 actually begins in the west at Oregon Expressway as Alma Street in Palo Alto. In Palo Alto, G6 remains a major surface street with four lanes of traffic and a center turning lane to service the many driveways and turnoffs available. At the Palo Alto – Mountain View border at San Antonio Road, G6's character changes, removing the driveways and frequent intersections and adding a center divider, and is renamed Central Expressway. Central continues east as a 4 lane road through the city of Mountain View. Through this section Central Expressway has more at-grade intersections than is typical for a designated expressway. This section's intersections are primarily at-grade with cross streets controlled by traffic lights, although there are some overpasses, such as for San Antonio Road, Shoreline Blvd., Whisman Ave, CA-237 and CA-85. Santa Clara County Route G3, more commonly known as Page Mill Road and Oregon Expressway is a short 4. ...

After crossing under CA-85, Central Expressway takes on a very freeway like appearance (which is not typical for most county roads) for several miles through Sunnyvale. Through this section Central Expressway has a wide center divider and a sequence of several separated grade interchanges with main cross streets and no turnoffs or driveways. The final in this sequence is at Lawrence Expressway. East of Lawrence Expressway, Central Expressway resumes at grade intersections along with sporadic HOV lanes at the approaches to intersections. Central has one final separated grade interchange with San Tomas Expressway. Central reaches its end at De La Cruz Blvd in Santa Clara, just outside the north end of San Jose International Airport. Route G6 makes a turn on to De La Cruz for a few hundred feet until it reaches US-101, which serves as the route's eastern terminus.

History and legislative status Central Expressway was first designated in 1962. Central Expressway was a vital route through the western Silicon Valley in the days before US-101 and I-280 had been widened as an alternate route. Central Expressway still acts as an alternate route to US-101 through the west valley, however usage has declined as both freeways are now much larger and more direct routes. Future plans call for widening Central Expressway near its eastern end to accommodate an HOV lane. 1962 (MCMLXII) was a common year starting on Monday (the link is to a full 1962 calendar). ...
