California State Route 174
State Route 174 (SR 174) is a state highway in the U.S. state of California. The two-lane 13-mile (21 km) highway, added to the state highway system in 1933, connects Interstate 80 in Colfax with SR 20/SR 49 in Grass Valley, crossing the Bear River next to a 1924 concrete arch bridge. The majority of the highway is eligible for the State Scenic Highway System, but local residents have blocked its designation due to property rights concerns.

Famous quotes containing the words california, state and/or route:
“The Indian remarked as before, “Must have hard wood to cook moose-meat,” as if that were a maxim, and proceeded to get it. My companion cooked some in California fashion, winding a long string of the meat round a stick and slowly turning it in his hand before the fire. It was very good. But the Indian, not approving of the mode, or because he was not allowed to cook it his own way, would not taste it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Boys, when you see the enemy, fire and then run, and as I am a little lame, I will run now.”
