Historic Route

The original routing of U.S. 91 roughly followed the current route of Interstate 15. There are large portions of the original U.S. 91 highway that were upgraded on the spot to I-15, but other places, there are long stretches of original highway now used only for local traffic.


California

U.S. 91 shield used in California.
  • U.S. 91's original southern terminus was at the intersection of Atlantic Avenue (historically CA 15) and East Pacific Coast Highway (CA 1) in Long Beach. This intersection also marked the historic western terminus of US 6, which proceeded west from that intersection. East of the intersection, U.S. 91 proceeded east along East Pacific Coast Highway to Los Alamitos Circle.
  • From Los Alamitos Circle, U.S. 91 headed north on Lakewood Boulevard (CA 19) to East Carson Street.
  • The route went east along East Carson Street, which becomes Lincoln Avenue east of Interstate 605.
  • East of Anaheim, U.S. 91 turned off of Lincoln Avenue and headed east on Santa Ana Canyon Road to the Riverside County line.
  • In Corona, portions of the old highway are now Green River Rd. and Palisades Dr. On Palisades Dr., you can view a bridge dated 1938 with the typical wooden guardrail. Portions of the center median are original and have the recessed divots. The route continues east along 6th Street through downtown Corona and turns into Magnolia Avenue east of downtown.
  • In Riverside, Magnolia Avenue turns into Market Street. U.S. 91 followed Market Street, 1st Street and La Cadena Drive.
    • The intersection of Market Street and University Avenue marks the historic intersection with U.S. 60 and U.S. 395. U.S. 60 turned off onto Mission Inn Avenue a block later while U.S. 395 continued north with U.S. 91.
    • 1st Street in downtown Riverside is now cut off by the CA 91 freeway. This can be avoided by taking 1st Street to where it is cut off by the freeway then turning right on Mulberry Street, left on 3rd Street and left on Vine Street. Vine Street will turn back into 1st Street, which will then turn into La Cadena Drive.
  • At this point, the original road was upgraded on the spot to the CA 91 freeway and the original route uses the CA 91 freeway up to I-215, then I-215 north to the La Cadena Drive/Colton Exit.
  • U.S. 91/395 then used La Cadena Drive north through Colton to its end at Mount Vernon Avenue in San Bernardino.
    • The intersection of Valley Boulevard and La Cadena Drive in Colton is the historic intersection with U.S. 70 and U.S. 99, as both were multiplexed along Valley Boulevard.
  • The route then continued north on Mount Vernon Avenue through San Bernardino then heads out of town on Cajon Boulevard.
    • In San Bernardino, the intersection of Mount Vernon Avenue and 5th Street is the historic intersection with U.S. 66. Here, U.S. 66 turned north along with U.S. 91/395.
    • Just past Glen Helen Parkway, Cajon Boulevard is cut off by the interchange of Interstates 15 and 215. This can be avoided by using Glen Helen Parkway to get onto Interstate 15 North, getting off at the Kenwood Avenue exit, turning left off the ramp, then turning right back onto Cajon Boulevard.
  • U.S. 91/66/395 followed Cajon Boulevard to its end, where the original U.S. 91/66/395 roadway was upgraded on the spot to I-15. At the end of Cajon Blvd., U.S. 91/66/395 followed I-15 to the Oak Hill Road exit, then north on Mariposa Road (which is now a frontage road for I-15) to Victorville.
    • Just before the Oak Hill Road exit, there is an abandoned piece of original roadway in the median of I-15 which can be accessed from the northbound side of the Interstate.
    • Originally U.S. 395 split off from U.S. 91/66 about half way to Victorville. The road no longer intersects Mariposa Road, but interchanges with I-15 instead.
  • At Victorville, U.S. 91/66 used 7th Street and D Street.
  • D Street becomes National Trails Highway north of I-15. U.S. 91/66 used National Trails Highway to Barstow where it becomes Main Street.
  • In Barstow, U.S. 91/66 used Main Street, where the two routes split, with U.S. 91 heading north on 1st Street then east on Old CA 58 and U.S. 66 continuing on Main Street.
    • The intersection of 1st Street and Old CA 58 is the historic intersection with U.S. 466. East of here, U.S. 91 and U.S. 466 were multiplexed.
  • U.S. 91/466 then used I-15 to the next exit, and followed Yermo Road, which is mainly an I-15 frontage road.
  • Eventually, Yermo Road ends again at I-15, where once again U.S. 91/466 was upgraded on the spot.
  • In Baker, U.S. 91/466 again left I-15 and went east along Baker Boulevard.
  • Baker Boulevard heads right back into I-15 where U.S. 91/466 is again upgraded on the spot, this time all the way to Nevada.

Nevada

  • U.S. 91/466 entered Nevada on present-day Interstate 15.
    • There are intact sections of the route on the east side of I-15 named Las Vegas Boulevard. That is the original U.S. 91/466 roadway, but it is not accessible until the second exit in Nevada. It can be accessed by taking exit 12 in Jean, turning right off the ramp, then left onto Las Vegas Boulevard.
  • The route then followed Las Vegas Boulevard (NV 604) through Las Vegas.
    • In Las Vegas, the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Fremont Street is the historic intersection with U.S. 93 and U.S. 95. Here, U.S. 466 left U.S. 91 and headed south on Fremont Street with U.S. 93 and 95. At this intersection, U.S. 93 and 95 left Fremont Street and turned north onto Las Vegas Boulevard, heading north with U.S. 91. One block further up, at Bonanza Road, U.S. 95 turned west until it hit Rancho Dr., then continued north. U.S. 91/93 stayed aligned with Las Vegas Boulevard.
  • Once past Las Vegas, the old road remains intact to a point about six miles north of where U.S. 93 splits off to the northwest. From there, the original road was upgraded on the spot to I-15. If you ever do follow this old section, keep in mind that you will have to return to the U.S. 93 interchange to continue northbound.
  • U.S. 91 followed I-15 to exit 112 (NV 170), though you can see old graded sections of the old road to the east of the freeway around the Moapa Indian Reservation (not passable by car), and next to the freeway over the Mormon Mesa about 50 miles north of Las Vegas.
  • The route followed NV 170 to Mesquite.
  • Once in Mesquite, U.S. 91 headed east on Mesquite Blvd. (NV 144), north on Sandhill Blvd. (also NV 144) and then east on Hillside Drive into Arizona, where the road becomes Fairview Avenue.

Utah

Arizona Border to Kanarraville

  • U.S. 91 entered Utah on Old Highway 91 and followed it east to Santa Clara.
  • In Santa Clara, Old Highway 91 becomes Santa Clara Drive and Sunset Boulevard.
  • The route followed Sunset Boulevard to its end at UT 18, then headed south along UT 18 to St. George.
  • At the junction with UT 34, U.S. 91 headed east along UT 34, then north on Industrial Road.
    • Industrial Road no longer intersects with UT 34. This can be avoided by following UT 34 east and turning left on North 1000 East, right on Highland Drive and left on Industrial Road.
  • U.S. 91 followed Industrial Road to Middleton where it then went north along Middleton Drive.
    • Industrial Road no longer connects to Middleton Drive directly. This can be avoided by following Industrial Road to Red Rocks Road, turning left on Red Rocks Road, then right onto Middleton Drive [As of 11/25/06 there has been construction in the area which has obliterated most of what was Middleton Drive in this area].
    • There is an abandoned tunnel on Industrial Road, past Red Rocks Road that U.S. 91 once used.
  • The route headed out of town on Middleton Drive, Red Cliffs Drive and West Telegraph Street (UT 212).
    • There is no longer an intersection between Middleton Drive and Red Cliffs Drive, as it was cut off by I-15. This can be avoided by continuing on Middleton Drive, turning right at Green Spring Drive, crossing under I-15, then turning left on Telegraph Road.
  • U.S. 91 then headed east on UT 212 to UT 9.
    • At the intersection with UT 9, there are two visible sections of original road that were abandoned when the intersection was re-built.
  • U.S. 91 then headed straight past UT 9 onto Old Highway 91, then along an abandoned piece of road which goes through several parking lots and then eventually into the median of I-15, then upgraded on the spot to the northbound carriageway of I-15.
    • The abandoned stretch of road can be avoided by turning left at UT 9 and getting on I-15 northbound.
  • The route then followed I-15 to Exit 22, then along Main Street through Leeds, then north along Frontage Road.
  • Once past UT 17, the route re-joined I-15 via an onramp from Frontage Road.
  • U.S. 91 then followed I-15 north to Exit 36, where it then headed north along 1450 East, then along Harmony Ridge Road.
    • The intersection of 1450 East and Harmony Ridge Road is now cut off by I-15 Exit 40. To avoid this, follow 1450 East north, turn right on Zion National Park Road, then left onto Old US Highway 91.
  • The route then followed Old US Highway 91 to Kanarraville, then headed out of town on Main Street.

U.S. Route 50 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1369 words)
U.S. Route 50 is an east-west U.S. highway.
US 50's western terminus is in West Sacramento, California at an interchange with Interstate 80.
Much of US 50 in Utah is multiplexed with Interstate 70, ironically though, the 2 largest cities served by US 50 in Utah (Salina and Delta) are on the portion that is not freeway.
U.S. Route 1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (4198 words)
U.S. Route 1 (also called U.S. Highway 1, and abbreviated US 1) is a United States highway which parallels the east coast of the United States.
US 1 is known as the "Fall Line Highway", since it generally follows the fall line between the Piedmont and the Atlantic Coastal Plain on its course through central North Carolina.
US 1 then joins US 46 for a short distance, (for those keep track, that means three U.S. Highways are concurrent: 1, 9, and 46), and then joins Interstate 95 for about 1.2 miles before crossing the New York state line on the George Washington Bridge.
