53 hour of the 405 closure in Los Angeles

Freeway signs on I-287 (outer) approaching I-78 near Somerville. Because US 202 and US 206 just merged in with the outer I-287, there is a slip ramp from the outer to inner I-287 to let those coming from US 202/206 to get to I-78 westbound.

This fountain sculpture apparently exists only from one direction.

The back of the fountain is a world ruled by pigeons.

A Report to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors on the Panhandle and Golden Gate Freeways, a Joint City-State Study, February, 1966

A true sign of progress. When the freeway through here was originally built, overhead signage was present. One can see this same view with the overhead signs in 1971 right here.

 

Also note the "West" banner for SR-186. Although SR-186 is definitely more of a north-south route, it runs along old US-40, which was east-west. The legacy survives, albeit barely.

I should've had a before picture of this area, you'd be shocked. It's beautiful now.

Winnemucca Lake is a dry lake bed lying in northwest Nevada. It is on the dividing line between Washoe and Pershing counties. Until the 1930s, it was a shallow lake, but was dried out by construction projects.

 

Winnemucca Lake is home to several petroglyphs long believed to be very old. In 2013, researchers dated the carvings to between 14,800 and 10,500 years ago. Either date would make them the oldest known petroglyphs found in North America. The carvings lie within the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation.

 

Winnemucca Lake is a sub-basin within the Lahontan Basin in northwestern Nevada.[1] It lies east of Pyramid Lake and is on the dividing line between Washoe and Pershing counties. The lake bed lies between the Lake Range on the west and the Nightingale Mountains and Selenite Range to the east. Winnemucca Lake is about 45 km (28 mi) long and about 7 km (4.3 mi) wide. The lake bed is at an elevation of 1,150 m (3,770 ft),[2][3] which is below the water level of adjacent Pyramid Lake.[4]

 

Winnemucca Lake was a shallow tule-filled lake and an important stop for migrating waterfowl. After the Derby Dam was built on the Truckee River in 1903 (the first project of the Reclamation Act), and State Route 447 (which blocked the slough connecting it to Pyramid Lake) was built, Winnemucca Lake dried out and has remained seasonally dry since the late 1930s.[5][6] In 1936, Franklin D. Roosevelt made an effort to rescue the lake and designated the area as the Winnemucca Lake National Wildlife Refuge. In 1962, the refuge designation was removed, making this area the first refuge designation lost because of lack of water.
