Two Bridges In One is a photograph by T.M. Schultze taken 2018 at Jacumba Hot Springs, California
Two Bridges In One by T.M. Schultze The original bridge dates to about 1915 and carried the original Bankhead Highway traffic over the San Diego-Arizona Eastern railway which runs from Plaster City to Tecate, Mexico. That bridge was replaced in 1931 by the current bridge. The Eastern retaining wall of the original highway was maintained and carries traffic, but a new retaining wall was built on the Western side that bypasses the stretch of original concrete I am standing on in this photograph.

Gravesite and Tombstone for Amos Buckman. Legend, true or not, has it that his grave was accidentally uncovered when Interstate 8 was being built in Buckman Springs in the 1970s, and this was then created for him. Many people photograph (and graffiti) his Bottling Plant and his home, even if they don't know who Amos Buckman was, but few take the time to locate his tombstone. While not directly on Highway 80, it is very close and important to the history of the highway.

OH8086 is a photograph by T.M. Schultze taken 2013 at Descanso, California
This is at the end of the Wildwood Glen section of Old Highway 80. Interstate 80 was built to the South, and also cut out the "Deadman's Curve" section of Route 80, which is why the road dead-ends here. Below is an old Bell telephone manhole. Modern fiberoptics, natural gas, and other infrastructure still follow the original Route 80 right-of-way.

OH8073 is a photograph by T.M. Schultze taken 2013 at Descanso, California
This small road pre-dates Route 80 and possibly Bankhead Highway as well. This section is in a small area South of Descanso called Los Terrinitos. The road to the left is a cutoff that connects between present day Highway 79 and Wildwood Glen Lane, which was Route 80. This connector is now private property.

The town of Jacumba Hot Springs still has several hundred residents, but it is also somewhat of a ghost town. The town was bypassed when Instate 8 was built several miles North of the Route 80 location. Business was severely affected and many storefronts struggle to stay open.
