East end

US 99 at Manteca - 1925 proposal
US 99 at French Camp - 1926 1926 (unclear)
unclear - 1931
(as US 50) US 99W at French Camp - 1933 (Stockton inset, showing 99E and 99W)
(as US 50) US 99 at Stockton, via present I-5 and SR 4 - 1942 (Stockton inset) 1954 (55?)

According to [1] it became part of US 50 in 1934 or 1935. [2] says it was truncated to Mossdale in 1929, but that doesn't make sense given the maps. It also gives a death date of 1931, which does match the maps.

LRN 4 (US 99) originally went via French Camp; LRN went west from there on US 48/US 50. The new (east) alignment was built in ? and became US 99E ca. 1929 (according to [3]), while the old route became US 99W. Ca. 1933 US 99E became US 99 and US 99W died (becoming part of US 50 north of French Camp). It appears there was no LRN assigned to US 99W south of French Camp; LRN 5 ran north to Stockton once LRN 4 moved east. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 23:44, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It would be good if somebody could find out when [4] was approved. --NE2 06:35, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
