Monterey Highway Southbound

(San José to Morgan Hill)

This used to be US101 before 1985. The freeway ended here at Blossom Hill Road and Ford Road. It had US101 signs (without the direction sign) until about 1988. I never had any photos of this stretch heading southbound. The section signed as 82 ends here. This is taken at Ford Road, just south of Blossom Hill Road. This set is from 2/26/2008, and the hills aren't always this green and they are not green most of the year.

 This is near Flintwell Avenue. This is still within San José. It actually is mainly San José until Tilton, though it is undeveloped after Metcalf.

 This is before Highway 85. There is no access to 85 directly and you have to take Bernal to access it.
85 North

[Monterey Highway North] 

 This is Bernal Road, and this interchange has been here since the 1980s. Until recently there was no access to US101 from Bernal to Cochrane Rd. The speed limit is 55 after this and used to be 50 before 1989.
