A culvert, dating to 1929, has survived through an expressway upgrade in 1949, freeway construction in 1967, bridge replacement construction in 2001, and current widening work in 2022.

					<description><![CDATA[The Greenspot Road bridge, locally known as the &#8220;Erector Set Bridge&#8221; has an interesting history. It was originally built in 1912 located near Victorville at the Mojave Narrows. In 1932, the bridge was dismantled and replaced with a wider span for US Highway 66. In 1933, San Bernardino County purchased a portion of the span &#8230; <a href="https://www.socalregion.com/featured-image-5-31-2022/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Featured Image &#8211; 5/31/2022</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Ridge Route on US 99 between Castaic and Gorman was a very twisty roadway when it first opened. All told, there was about 39,600 degrees of curvature over the approximately 30-mile route, enough to go in 110 circles. The state gradually worked to alleviate this headache by straightening curves whenever possible. Some curves were &#8230; <a href="https://www.socalregion.com/from-the-archives-1923/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">From the Archives &#8211; 1923</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In 1949, La Cienega Blvd was extended through the Baldwin Hills. This roadway was eventually to become a part of the State Route 170 Laurel Canyon Freeway. Interchanges and grade separations were built with this in mind. Access to the roadway was also controlled, making it easier to upgrade the roadway to a full freeway &#8230; <a href="https://www.socalregion.com/featured-image-9-4-2021/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Featured Image &#8211; 9/4/2021</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
