Dedicated to the preservation of California's Main Street – former US Highway 99
Photo Request – Region 3
Looking for photo help! A section of original US 99 in Herndon near Fresno in the Central Valley may be close to being removed. The section in question is south of Herndon Ave adjacent to Weber Ave. It is likely concrete and leads to the old railroad grade crossing removed in 1927.
Photos are from 1950 and 2021. We are looking for photos of the section of paving circled. It should be accessible from Golden State Blvd. Be aware the railroad tracks are live and trains may pass through at any time. Photos of that roadway would be nice as well, as it is also going to be removed in the future.
I am the founder of the Historic Highway 99 Association of California. I am also the author and administrator of the "Southern California Regional Rocks and Roads" website at https://socalregion.com, since 1995. I have been studying the geology and highway history throughout southern California for most of my life. I am also the President of the Ridge Route Preservation Organization.
