Location #A

Cuesta Canyon Park. The original pre-1932 alignment of the highway split off from what is now Miosi Rd. at the north end of this park. It crossed over a small creek that feeds into San Luis Obispo Creek, then continues north, crosses under the current freeway, and continues north on the east side as Fox Hollow Rd.

View facing east as the old highway approaches the bridge. Cuesta Canyon Park is to the right.
