Historical Information
Formerly extended east from I-5 to State 14 in Santa Clarita until the early 2000’s. Section was originally US 99 until 1930. Portion from State 14 to Saugus was later State 7, then US 6 until 1940.
About State 126
This roadway was to have a very different alignment through the Santa Clarita Valley. Until the 1990’s, it was planned to be a freeway from I-5 to SR-14 mostly following the Santa Clara River through lower Soledad Canyon meeting SR-14 near Via Princessa. Only part of that freeway was ever constructed. State 126 is also one of the more scenic routes in the Los Angeles area. From I-5 to near Ventura, it passes through one of the largest citrus producing areas left in Southern California. A trip in springtime is best when the orange trees are blossoming.
