Sierra Highway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sierra Highway is a road in Southern California, United States. It runs from Tunnel Station in northern Los Angeles, where it intersects with San Fernando Road and Foothill Boulevard, as well as Interstate 5, north to Mojave, mostly paralleling State Route 14 (the Antelope Valley Freeway). The northernmost section, near and in Mojave, has not been bypassed by a freeway, and thus still carries SR 14. (There is a gap at the north end of the freeway; through traffic on Sierra Highway must cross to the freeway at Silver Queen Road.)
A section of Sierra Highway near Santa Clarita is designated and signed[1] as State Route 14U, which signifies that it is an unrelinquished section of State Route 14, still owned by Caltrans despite being bypassed by a freeway ca. 1971.[2] SR 14U is 7.33 miles (11.80 km) long, from postmile 24.28 (at the bridge carrying SR 14 over SR 14U, just north of the south end of Sierra Highway) north to postmile 31.61 (at the SR 14 ramps near Via Princessa).[2]
