The highway went through the Cuyamaca Mountains, encountering many switchbacks, before descending to El Centro.

The winding two-lane road through the Cuyamaca Mountains was one of the factors that led to a four-hour journey from San Diego to El Centro. During the 1930s, the road was realigned through the mountains, but several curves remained. In the 1950s, work began on constructing what would become\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eInterstate 8 to replace the old highway in San Diego to bypass the cities of  East San Diego County\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e. This started with the construction of the Alvarado Canyon road as well as Mission Valley Road through the San Diego area, as well as construction of a replacement for the old highway across the Viejas Grade. The construction continued across the rest of the route through the next two decades.  In 2006, the California Stage Legislature granted it historical recognition.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Duds by Dudes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51712383648027,"sku":"115","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/3436\/1627\/files\/Screenshot_325.png?v=1769807387","url":"https:\/\/shop.sdautomuseum.org\/es\/products\/old-hwy-80-centennial-key-ring","provider":"San Diego Automotive Museum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
