State Route 43 is a north-south state highway in the U.S. State of California, routed along the southern San Joaquin Valley connecting the towns of Shafter, Wasco, Hanford, and Selma, running roughly parallel to SR 99. The route begins southwest of Bakersfield at an intersection with SR 119 and it quickly crosses I-5 and heads north until reaching SR 58, and then it angles northwest until reaching Wasco. North of Wasco, the road is called the Central Valley Highway and it remains two lanes wide for its entire length until its northern terminus in Selma with SR 99. Caltrans has plans to widen SR 43 between the Kings County/Fresno County line and SR 99, but due to the California budget crisis, plans have been put on hold.
This route is part of the California Freeway and Expressway System[2].
