Signage Projects

Original “BEGIN” signage on historic US 99 in Calexico in 2007
Original signs in 2020, badly faded.
Replacement signage posted in March 2021

As a part of our mission to increase public awareness of the historic importance of US Highway 99, we will work toward getting the older alignments of the roadway signed as a “Historic Route”. Some sections already have signage, such as Los Angeles, Bakersfield, and Mountain Gate north of Redding. We will be seeking estimates for sign costs and placement in the near future. If you’d like to see signage in your town or area, contact us and we will discuss options for placement.

If you’d like to donate to any of these projects, make sure to include the project ID.
