}}State Route 151 (SR 151) is a state highway in the U.S. state of California. The route runs from Shasta Dam to Interstate 5 near Shasta Lake City, California. Its routing is in Shasta County, California.
Route description
SR 151 begins at Shasta Dam, where the Sacramento River is dammed to form Shasta Lake. From Shasta Dam, the road heads south as Shasta Dam Boulevard, crossing through heavily vegetated area. The road then meets CR A18 within the city of Shasta Lake. Heading eastward, the road enters the center of Shasta Lake before meeting its eastern terminus at Interstate 5.[2]
SR 151 is not part of the National Highway System,[3] a network of highways that are considered essential to the country's economy, defense, and mobility by the Federal Highway Administration.[4] SR 151 is eligible for the State Scenic Highway System,[5] and from Shasta Dam to Lake Boulevard is officially designated as a scenic highway by the California Department of Transportation,[6] meaning that it is a substantial section of highway passing through a "memorable landscape" with no "visual intrusions", where the potential designation has gained popular favor with the community.[7]
