Excerpt: State Route 149 (SR 149) is a short state highway that helps to connect Oroville and Chico through rural Butte County . Connecting State Route 70 at Wicks Corner with State Route 99 east of Durham , it forms part of the primary north south highway through the eastern Sacramento Valley , a Focus Route of the Interregional Road System. The route is also part of the California Freeway and Expressway System , and a project to widen the two-lane road to a four-lane expressway was completed in late 2008, removing the bottleneck from the Oroville-Chico highway. Route description State Route 149 begins at Wicks Corner , a junction with SR 70 several miles north of Oroville . This is the north end of the State Route 70 freeway , which passes through a gap between the Campbell Hills and South Table Mountain on its way from Oroville. SR 149 heads northwest across gently rolling terrain before descending into the valley of the Dry Creek. As it begins to climb out of the valley, SR 149 ends at State Route 99 . The latter highway continues the corridor northwest to Chico , quickly dropping back into the Butte Creek valley. History By the late 1910s, a "natural prairie road" linked Oroville to State Highway Route 3 southeast of Chico , following the present Table Mountain Boulevard, Openshaw Road, and Oroville-Chico Highway to Midway (Route 3). The primary route between these two cities was the all-state highway route, following Route 21 (now SR 162 ) west from Oroville to Route 3 near Richvale . Butte County dedicated a newly-improved Oroville-Chico Highway on July 4, 1926; it became part of the state highway system in 1..., 11450, Atlases, 11448, Atlases & Maps, 21, Reference, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 11457, World, 11448, Atlases & Maps, 21, Reference, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 400272011, Paperback, 394184011, Mass Market, 401237011, Trade, 394174011, Binding (binding), 388186011, Refinements, 283155, Books, 618083011, Printed Books, 618072011, Format (feature_browse-bin), 388186011, Refinements, 283155, Books<
