US 99 went through two stages of redevelopment in Washington. The first was a general replacement of the original two-lane highway with a four-lane limited-access highway. At that time, the limited-access highway was badged as US 99, and any parallel original route was generally known as "old 99".
In November 1926, Route 4 was defined as part of US 99 and Route 5 (to San Jose) became US 48. [4] California's U.S. Routes were not marked until 1928, [13] and US 99 had not yet been split into US 99E and US 99W. [14] Around 1929, Route 4 was realigned between north of Manteca and Stockton. This became US 99E, and the old route became US 99W.
US 99 was truncated to Los Angeles, with the old route south to Mexico becoming mainly I-10 and SR 86. At the same time Route 99 was defined legislatively to run from I-5 near Wheeler Ridge to Red Bluff , but it was only marked as SR 99 between Sacramento and Yuba City, since the remainder was still US 99 or US 99E.
