After all the speculation on the last couple of pages, we finally get the location of the old highway 100%, undeniably confirmed at the Gnat Creek Bridge.

Through this stretch of the highway, from whatever turns up on the likely Big Noise Creek Fragment to the verified Clifton Road Fragment, I do believe that the alignments between the original and the modern highway match up pretty well through here.
