The segment of State Route 178 from State Route 127 to the California-Nevada State Line as well as all of Nevada State Route 372 are both known as the Charles Brown Highway. Charles Brown, a former California State Legislator, was a major proponent for the incorporation of the segment of State Route 178 between State Route 14 and the California-Nevada state line into the California Highway System.

History

SR 178 was one of the routes created with the third bond act of 1919. It defined a route 202 miles long between Santa Maria and Freeman Junction
Freeman Junction, California
Freeman Junction, a ghost town in Kern County, California, USA, was first homesteaded in the 1920s by Clare C. Miley, who was born in 1900. By the 1930s a restaurant, gas station and mining activities dominated the site....

 through Bakersfield. Freeman does not exist today; it was originally located near (and later at) the junction of SR 178 and SR 14. The route was defined as Legislative Route 57. The 1919 bond act also created the first segment of LRN 58. The route was extended several times since 1919. In 1933, the final segment was added to LRN 58, which created a route from US 101 near Santa Margarita to the Nevada state line via Bakersfield. Construction on the route between Bakersfield and Isabella through Kern Canyon started in 1922. Progress moved slowly, as sheer rock walls had to be blasted with dynamite. In 1931, 9 years after construction started, the 26 mile highway segment was completed.

In 1933, with the creation of signed routes, portions of LRN 57 and LRN 58 would be signed as Route 178. LRN 58 would be signed between Route 33 and US 99, and LRN 57 would be signed between US 99 and US 395. Later, in 1947, LRN 212 was created, and defined to run from US 395 at the junction with Route 178 east to the Nevada state line. It was an unsigned route.

In 1964 all of the California routes were renumbered. LRN 58 was dropped from Route 178 and combined with the eastern portion of the decommissioned US 466 (also defined as part of LRN 58) to created SR 58. The remaining Route 178 was combined with LRN 212 to create SR 178. It was originally defined to start at SR 99 in Bakersfield, but later that year it was changed to simply start in Bakersfield. This change was probably done to avoid a cosign with SR 58 along 23rd/24th St. After SR 58 was moved to the freeway south of Brundage Ln. in 1976, SR 178 was extended west to SR 99.

Construction on the initial freeway in Bakersfield was completed in 1968. It ran from M St, on the eastern edge of Downtown, through East Bakersfield to Haley St. Eastern extensions have been constructed since 1968, one interchange at a time as the need arises. In the Kern Canyon section, which is between Bakersfield and the Kern River Valley

, a bypass route was identified in 1964. By 1968, a deed from the US forestry service issued an easement to the State for the construction of the highway through National Forest lands. The first phase of construction was completed in 1974, which created a short freeway near Lake Isabella and a 60’ wide expressway extending west to China Garden. Subsequent phases were not funded.

Western freeway extension

There has been a plan to extend SR 178 freeway west, past SR 99 to the proposed Westside Parkway. Although the extension has been studied several times since the existing freeway was completed in 1968, a formal route adoption has never been done. When that study is conducted, most likely the following two alignments will be considered, since both have been recommended in previous reports. The central alignment, sometimes referred to as the Westchester alignment, was Caltrans preferred route in 1973. The southern alignment was recommended as part of the Bakersfield System Study in 2001. It was also recommended in a study conducted by the Kern Council of Governors (KernCOG) in 1986.

The central alignment would extend the freeway west from its current terminus at M St, through Downtown Bakersfield between 23rd St. and 24th St. It would continue west through Westchester, to Oak St. At Oak St, the freeway would turn southwest, cross under SR 99 and terminate at the proposed Westside Parkway.

The southern alignment would start at SR 178 at Baker St, about 0.7 miles east of its current terminus. From there, it would turn southwest, and run parallel to Baker St, through East Bakersfield, to the BNSF railroad yard. From there, it would turn west and run south of the railroad tracks through the southern end of Downtown Bakersfield. At Bakersfield High School, it would run north of the tracks (avoiding the high school). It would continue, under SR 99 and terminate at the proposed Westside Parkway.

Although there is currently no date for the construction of the freeway extension, there are plans to increase capacity on the existing streets. 23rd and 24th St, through Downtown, will be widened to four lanes each. 24th St. through Westchester will be widened to six lanes, and close several of the local streets access, or possibly be grade separate. An interchange will also be constructed at Oak St. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2012.

Eastern freeway extension

There are plans to extend SR 178 as a divided highway east of Fairfax Road. When all of the projects are completed, the highway will be a four-lane divided freeway to future Vineland Road (near the old Mesa Marin Raceway

) and a four-lane arterial to Miramonte Drive. These improvements are expected to be completed by 2014.

Kern Canyon bypass

There is a plan to realign SR 178 from its current route through the Kern Canyon, to a route parallel to Rancheria Road, north of the canyon. The new alignment would run from future Vineland Road, 15 miles to China Garden, where it will meet with the existing four-lane expressway (which was complete in 1974). The goal will be to have a minimum of a four lane expressway from Bakersfield, to Lake Isabella

. This would result in increasing the speed limit from 35 mile per hour and eliminate the sharp curves and steep drop-offs that exist with the current route. Currently there is no expected construction date.

Major intersections

Note: Except where prefixed with a letter, postmiles were measured in 1964, based on the alignment as it existed at that time, and do not necessarily reflect current mileage. The numbers reset at county lines; the start and end postmiles in each county are given in the county column.
