cross road; almost immediately, as it seems, the signs warn that the freeway is about to end.  Even weirder: the official End Freeway sign comes after the road has  narrowed to two lanes!  Surely nuttiness like a one-mile freeway that ends as a two-lane road has to have an economic basis. Expand your horizons: it might have a religious one. Lee the end is nigh! oops, just passed it, darn! Rudolph

True, but I think there's some budgetary gimmickry going on in the declaration of short strecthes of freeway.  The oddest bit I know is well north of San Fracisco, approaching Willits from the south.  This four-lane divided road is declared a freeway as soon as one is past a particular cross road; almost immediately, as it seems, the signs warn that the freeway is about to end.  Even weirder: the official End Freeway sign comes after the road has  narrowed to two lanes!  Surely nuttiness like a one-mile freeway that ends as a two-lane road has to have an economic basis. There's no requirement in the California Streets and Highways code that a freeway have more than two lanes:   23.5.   Freeway means a highway in respect to which the owners   of abutting lands have no right or easement of access to or from   their abutting lands or in respect to which such owners have only   limited or restricted right or easement of access. There are a number of places along US-101, espcially between San Jose and San Luis Obispo, where US-101 ceases to be a freeway for about a half-mile, just long enough to allow a junction for access by nearby farms, thereby avoiding building an interchange.

Even weirder: the official End Freeway sign comes after the road has narrowed to two lanes! Surely nuttiness like a one-mile freeway that ends as a two-lane road has to have an economic basis. Actually, it has more to do with roadway standards than with an economic basis .  A freeway section reflects a certain specification of roadway, usually meaning 2 (or more) lanes in each direction, barrier- or median- separated, usually (but not always) with emergency shoulders, and *NO* cross-streets, intersections, or driveways.  What exactly constitutes a freeway section differs from state to state, although most are similar, and generally reflect something close to Interstate Highway standards. Also, to whomever asked how many drawbridges there are on the Interstate system, the answer is 11.  One is currently being replaced with a fixed span (I-95 in Jacksonville, FL), while two others have fixed span replacements proposed (I-95/495 Woodrow Wilson Bridge near DC, and I-280 in Toledo, OH). Any more road-type questions, feel free to pop on over to misc.transport.road .

You can learn more than you ever wanted to know about California State Route 1 at: http://www.pacificnet.net/~faigin/CA-HWYS/001-008.html Too late, I'm afraid. Why, I'm already so frustrated with this thread I'm having to chew on a leather strap to keep from grinding my teeth. Phil by the way, do we know anything about thongs and mastication? Edwards

Nope. The Wilson Bridge replacement will again be a lift bridge. A fixed bridge would make far too much sense to be used here. The bitter irony is the ORIGINAL reason for a lift bridge, access to the US Navy Yard in Southeast DC, no longer exists. (The Navy Yard has replaced the classic weaponry of the last era, such as destroyers and frigates; with contemporary weaponry such as copy machines and Outlook-loaded PC's, as befits the change in enemies from the USSR to the GAO.) But the ONE commercial shipper needing the lift bridge {the Washington Post!} and more importantly, the City of Alexandria, blocked all attempts to have a non-lift bridge.

You may call it the Lincoln Highway if you wish, but you would still be wrong. Come, now
