The Foothill Blvd. Unsigned Freeway is a small section of freeway-like city street between Oak Grove Drive and Woodbury Road in Pasadena, California . It is part of the northeast Pasadena section of Oak Grove Drive, approximately one mile south of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory . HISTORY Built in the 1960s as part of the new Foothill Freeway , this section was bypassed by a new bridge over Devil's Gate . Before the assignment of an Interstate Highway number, it had been part of State Route 118 . CURRENT STATUS It is now the middle of three bridges that crosses Devil's Gate wash: the original, and northermost was La Canada Ave., the roadbed of which ran over the crest of the dam, now closed to traffic; the former Foothill Blvd , the section of original freeway, now technically a city street (now signed as Oak Grove Drive); and southermost, the current routing of the Foothill Freeway. Before a 1980s renovation, the original black freeway signs remained in place. Currently, a number of freeway-style "exit" signs remain in place at the Arroyo Boulevard overpass. |
