Alabama State Route 14

State Route 14 in Alabama, also known as SR-14, is a public highway maintained by the state of Alabama. SR-14 runs from west to east through the central portion of the state. The highway begins at the Mississippi state line at the terminus of Mississippi Highway 69 and connects the cities of Selma and Prattville before ending at State Route 147 on the western side of Auburn.

History

State Route 14 was one of the original routes in the Alabama's first statewide highway system in the 1920s. The original routing followed much of the same path as today, but was significantly shorter. The highway as built then started in Selma and ran east along its current route to Auburn. As was standard for highways of the era, SR-14 was unpaved for its full length. The first paved section was constructed in 1932 between Elmore and Wetumpka. Paving continued sporadically for the next 15 years, with the last gravel section on the route being paved in 1947.

In 1956–57, the state renumbered many highways, and as a result other state highways to the northwest of Selma were renumbered as SR-14, extending the highway to the Mississippi state line along its modern course. In the 1960s, when the first segment of Interstate 85 was constructed, bypassing Auburn and Opelika, SR-14 was extended from its eastern end at U.S. Highway 29 in Auburn along US-29 through Opelika to the northern end of that first Interstate Highway segment, at the current Exit 64. When U.S. Highway 280 was re-routed to meet Interstate 85 between Auburn and Opelika in 1998, SR-14 was truncated to a new eastern endpoint at US-280 in Opelika. In 2009, it was further truncated to its present terminus at the junction with State Route 147.

California State Route 14

State Route 14 (SR 14) is a north–south state highway in the U.S. state of California, largely in the Mojave Desert. The southern portion of the highway is signed as the Antelope Valley Freeway. The route connects Interstate 5, or Golden State Freeway, on the border of the Los Angeles neighborhoods of Granada Hills and Sylmar and with U.S. Route 395 near Inyokern. Legislatively, the route extends south of I-5 to State Route 1 in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles, however the portion south of the junction with I-5 has not been constructed. The southern part of the constructed route is a busy commuter freeway serving and connecting the communities of Santa Clarita, Palmdale and Lancaster with the rest of the Greater Los Angeles area. The northern portion, from Vincent (south of Palmdale) to Route 395, is legislatively named the Aerospace Highway, as the highway serves Edwards Air Force Base, once one of the primary landing strips for NASA's Space Shuttle. This section is rural, following the line between the hot Mojave desert and the forming Sierra Nevada mountain range. Most of Route 14 is loosely paralleled by a main line of the Southern Pacific Railroad, used for the Antelope Valley Line of the Metrolink commuter rail system as well as a connection between Los Angeles and the Central Valley via Tehachapi Pass.
