EspañolCALIFORNIA STATE ROUTE 120
(Redirected from State Route 120 (California))
'State Route 120' ('SR-120'), in northern California, USA, runs between the Central Valley near Manteca, through Yosemite National Park, and ends at U.S. Highway 6 in Mono County. It begins as a freeway intersecting Interstate 5 to extend Interstate 205 through Manteca. This section is referred to as "'the 120 bypass'". In east Manteca the freeway ends at SR-99 and becomes a highway which continues to head east through Escalon, Oakdale and other various small towns. East of Oakdale there are no highly populated areas for 90 miles (144 km) as it heads up into the Sierra Nevada mountains to Yosemite National Park. Once in Yosemite, it is known as 'Tioga Pass Road', and it retains that name as it travels through the Tioga Pass on its 45 mile journey to its intersection with U.S. Highway 395, near Lee Vining, California. After a jog to the south along US 395, it continues east, skirting the south end of Mono Lake and providing access to the Mono Lake South Tufa, and ends at the intersection of U.S. Highway 6 in Benton, California. Both the portions through Yosemite National Park and the stretch south of Mono Lake are subject to winter closure. Usually the highway is open through Tioga Pass by the Memorial Day weekend at the end of May, and typically closes for the winter sometime in November.
During the Gold Rush, SR-120 was originally known as ''Big Oak Flat Road'', after the village of Big Oak Flat through which it passes in the Sierra foothills. It was a pack trail from Stockton which became popular with prospectors about 1849. By 1874 it was a wagon road which extended to the Yosemite Valley.
This exit list is for the freeway section in San Joaquin County.
