There is no such thing as 'Cohasset Highway.' This interchange is for Cohasset Rd, which this road is named throughout its entire length. Mangrove Avenue connects to Cohasset Road just south of this interchange and is a main street in Chico, thus the notice on this interchange." Photo taken 01/20/03.

Northbound California 99 at Exit 389, Eaton Road, in north Chico. Warren Jensen wrote (12/17/03), "Take a look at the odd spacing for the sign text "Eaton Rd." There's a lot of space between these words. That is because CalTrans originally and erroneously signed this interchange "Eaton Ave." It was changed to the road's correct name about 10 years ago."
