American Highway Code US Route 48[I] History
. The original U.S. Highway 48 was amongst the original 1926 routes; it runs between U.S. Highway 99 by the side of French Camp, California (outside Stockton, California) as well as U.S. Route 101 on San Jose (California) and it has been lasted merely until 1931 and it has mostly been replaced with an extended U.S. Highway 50.
. US 48 originally were a road to connect San Francisco Bay area with the San Joaquin Valley, traveling starting from San Jose, CA to near Modesto, CA. For the most part, it follows the route of its successor, US 50.
. Its western terminus was in close proximity to the present location of Interstate 238 and Interstate 880 interchange and it is generally followed the route of current Interstate 580 to the Interstate 205 junction.
. It continued east on Interstate 205, subsequently it follows the Old Highway 50 (BR-205) through Tracy, thence toward Interstate 5. It followed Interstate 5 to CA 120, and then followed CA 120 to the locality of the CA 99/CA 120 interchange, which marked its eastern terminus.
. A 1925 article published here at California Highways, the publication of the California Division of Highways, states with the intention of the western terminus of US 48 was in San Jose. At several point between then and 1930, the end may have been set back to Hayward.
. This was the foremost US highway that has to be decommissioned in California and it have been disappeared from the books in 1934, following it has been signed for only 8 years.
