U.S. Route 66 Alternate (Los Angeles, California)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alternate U.S. Route 66 was a designation to preserve the next-to-last routing of U.S. 66 from Pasadena, California to Los Angeles, California, when the signage for U.S. 66 was transferred to the Arroyo Seco Parkway (presently the Pasadena Freeway, with alignment lasted from 1938 to 1964, when Alternate U.S. 66 was eliminated as well as Historic Arroyo Seco Parkway into SR-11, and became SR-110 in 1981.
The routing from Pasadena to Los Angeles was west on Colorado Street and then south on Figueroa Street. The end of the Pasadena Freeway then blended into Figueroa Street and the alternate route rejoined its parent route. The routing along Figueroa Street and the portion along Colorado Street between Linda Vista Avenue and Figueroa Street also bore the designation of California Route 11.
