CA RxR 2.10: Route 1: The Lost Coast (incl. Route 208 and Route 211)

California Highways: Route by Route

Episode 2.10 of California Highways: Route by Route completes our exploration of Route 1, as we discuss the "Lost Coast". This area was originally part of the last segment of LRN 56, and was to be Route 1, but some reworking of the state system made the former lateral between Usal Road and US 101 (which in 1964 became Route 208) officially Route 1, and made the "Lost Coast" portion of the route Route 211. This episode explores the Lost Coast, including the history of Route 208 and Route 211. In our next episode we will move to Route 2, talking about Route 2 in the flatlands: From Santa Monica to and through Glendale, including the Beverly Hills Freeway, the Glendale Freeway, and even some Pacific Electric. We'll also talk about the Western Terminus of US 66. For more details and additional links, see this episode's forever home at https://caroutebyroute.org/2024/03/10/ca-rxr-2-10-rout…08-and-route-211/
