California State Route 58 highway marker sign

Description

State Route 58 is a critical link in California’s transportation system. It runs from US 101 in San Luis Obispo County to Bakersfield, then from there through Tehachapi Pass to Barstow, where it ends at Interstate 15. From Bakersfield eastward, the highway was originally built as part of US Route 466; it was renumbered to State Route 58 in 1964. The road over Tehachapi Pass is an important corridor, as the pass serves as the traditional dividing line between the Tehachapi Mountains to the south and the Sierra Nevada range to the north. At only 4,301 feet (1,229 m), Tehachapi Summit is one of the lowest places in the area to cross the mountains. Accordingly, it typically remains open when the higher Sierra passes further north are closed due to inclement weather. It is also part of the quickest route to Northern California from places further to the east, such as Las Vegas and much of Arizona.
