The Bayshore Highway between San Jose and San Francisco was designated as part of US 101 in 1936, replacing El Camino Real (which became US 101 Alternate).[1][2] At the urging of local businesses and groups, a proposal was submitted to AASHO to move US 101 back to El Camino Real, which was approved in 1938 alongside the creation of US 101 Bypass for the Bayshore Highway.[3][4] Other proposals included signing El Camino Real as US 101 Scenic.[5]

The Bayshore Freeway was constructed to replace the original highway between 1947 and 1962.[6] US 101 was later rerouted onto the Bayshore Freeway during the 1964 renumbering and replaced US 101 Bypass entirely. Until then, US 101 used SR 82 (El Camino Real) and I-280.
