State Route 42 (SR 42) is a highway completely within Box Elder County that connects SR-30 to former SH-81 at the Idaho border in a span of 7 miles (11 km). The road was formerly part of U.S. Route 30S (US 30S), prior to being bypassed and replaced with what is now signed Interstate 84 (I-84).

Route description

From its western terminus at the Idaho border, the highway runs southeast until Cedar Creek, where it turns east-southeast. It continues in this matter until its eastern terminus at SR-30, known as Curlew Junction.

History

The road from SR-17 (now SR-82) in Tremonton northwest to Snowville became a state highway in 1912 as part of the Midland Trail (which continued to Nevada via present SR-30. The state highway was extended to Idaho in 1921, became part of US 30S in 1926, and received the (unsigned) SR-42 designation in 1927. The route was extended slightly east from Tremonton to SR-41 (now SR-13) in 1945, taking over what had been part of SR-82. When SR-3 was assigned to proposed I-80N in 1962, SR-42 east of the Snowville junction (exit 7) became SR-3. (Later, the portion near Tremonton would be renumbered SR-102.) Finally, in 1969, SR-42 received its present termini, as SR-70 (now SR-30) was extended east over SR-42 to I-84 west of Snowville, and the roadway through Snowville was removed from the state highway system. The American Association of State Highway Officials approved the relocation of US-30S onto I-84 in 1970, after which the first SR-42 signs were placed on the route that had been so designated since 1927.

California State Route 42

State Route 42 (SR 42) was a state highway in southern region of the U.S. state of California, running along Manchester Avenue, Manchester Boulevard and Firestone Boulevard in Los Angeles and the cities south of it. After 1968, it ran from State Route 1 west of Inglewood (near Los Angeles International Airport) east to Interstate 5 in Norwalk. Though signed as SR 42, it was officially Route 105 until replaced by the parallel Interstate 105 October 14, 1993. From then until the last piece was turned over to local maintenance in 2000, it was an unrelinquished piece of Route 105, and continued to be signed as SR 42.

Route description

Manchester Avenue begins in Los Angeles near the Pacific Ocean at Vista del Mar Lane, and becomes a major road at Pershing Drive. The part west of Lincoln Boulevard (State Route 1) was never a numbered route. East of Sepulveda Boulevard, Manchester Avenue crosses into Inglewood, where it is known as Manchester Boulevard. It jogs about two blocks to the north just west of Interstate 405, and back to the south after passing downtown Inglewood. Upon crossing back into Los Angeles, it is again Manchester Avenue.
