120 West in California

These first four were scanned from slides I took on 1/20/1990. This was a super two highway back then. It had been a detour of I5 from 120 to Sacramento in the 1970s. Manteca was a lot smaller in 1990 than in 1998.

This is getting closer to I5. This route had been US50 in the past. It became a wider freeway near I5.

These next four are by Trevor Carrier from May 2007, on 120 between 99 and I5. This was US50 a long time ago. Until the 1990s it was a super two freeway (two lanes total and divided.) US50 followed present day I5 to I205, then to I580. These are in San Joaquin County.

There was a grass fire here just before the photos were taken.

This area has seen a housing boom over the past twenty years, in Manteca.

This fire scene was put out maybe ten minutes earlier.

This is getting onto I5 South. I think these two are old US highway bridges. US50 might have been on this and also US399 ran from Ventura to Tracy. This is scanned off slides.
