	Close-up of the end California 99 shield assembly posted at the intersection with California 36. California 99 used to merge onto California 36 west for the final distance into Red Bluff, but hte route was retracted to this point in order to avoid route duplication. If and when California 99 is expanded to freeway standards, California 99 is proposed to be routed to merge directly onto Interstate 5 just south of the city of Red Bluff (a stub is visible on Interstate 5 at the point where California 99 was planned to merge into Interstate 5). Photo taken 01/20/03.
