five_mile_split

About 2/3 up the grade, the highway split for a short distance as this map shows. The roadway to the right is the 1933 alignment and to the left is the 1948 widening. When Five Mile Grade was redone as a freeway, the split was removed and the new roadway took the 1948 side. The 1933 side was then buried and torn up.
