348. Route 48 is from Route 14 near Lancaster to Route 122 near the
San Bernardino county line.
Entire route.
Unconstructed.
Route 48 was once from Route 5 in Gorman to Route 122. The portion from Route 5 to Route
14 was transferred to Route 138 in 1995. It took me so long to understand this thing!
Way back when they barely commissioned the Federal Highways, Route 48 as a U.S.
Highway was established. I'm not sure where it began, but I can certainly tell you that it went
from Route 84 on Route 580 heading eastward and then on Route 205. Later, it went onto
Route 205's business route through Tracy and follow nowaday Route 5 to Sacramento. The
portion I just mentioned was eventually transferred to U.S. Route 50 somewhere before
1955, when the route was probably decomissioned as well.
You know, Palmdale and Lancaster are actually flourishing despite the mix of class and
an unusually declining property value. So they better build the darn freeway or expressway soon,
before housing comes in and takes the proposed route's land and eventually have the same
troubles of building through like, oh, the 710.
