The Foothill Freeway through La Verne was constructed below grade, and several bridges carry city streets across the freeway. The reflective signs generally do not have the exit number along this stretch because the freeway opened only a short time after the Caltrans exit numbering directive was issued. The signs were already created and in place, so the exit number will be added in later. Photo taken 11/14/04.

Campus Avenue is a north-south city street in Upland that was realigned to its current diamond interchange configuration when California 210 was constructed.

The bridge ahead carries Euclid Avenue (California 83) over California 210.
