Separation structure built in 1993 to grade separate the SR-14/US 395 Junction. US 395 was also widened to a four-lane expressway at that time. Current US 395 is on a new alignment while the old alignment is now a frontage road to the west.
Sign marking the north end of SR-14. The distant mountains have been the site of many earthquake swarms in the past. They are also the site of many volcanoes, of which get close to the highway north of here.
Brady’s Mobil Station, just north of the junction.
This is the north end of State Highway 14. North of here, US 395 follows old US 6. They were cosigned from 1937 until 1963 when US 6 was cut back to Bishop. This present junction was moved here from Brown Junction in 1957 as a part of a major realignment of US 395 south of here to the southern Ridgecrest junction.
