Project: Sonora & East Sonora SR49 & SR108

Summary

The original Sonora Bypass was originally constructed to remove traffic from the downtown area and relieve congestion on the main street. Since then, the East Sonora Bypass has been added to extend the original bypass along Mono Way. Today, Sonora capitalizes on its tourist draw as a historic community with a well-preserved frontier town.
