State Route 273 is a state highway in Shasta County, California, USA. The route takes a more direct approach to the cities of Anderson and Redding, passing through their downtown districts. Interstate 5 is a bypass of this route, as it connects both ends. This route was part of former U.S. Route 99. In 2007, an effort was begun to have this segment signed as "Historic Route 99". The groups hope to have the black-and-white historical Route 99 signs up by October. They'll be placed from North Market Street in Redding down to where Interstate 5 meets Highway 273 south of Anderson.
