caption_attribution_description: English: Junction of CA3 and A28 in Montague facing West.
context_page_description: There are 27 routes assigned to the "A" zone of the California Route Marker Program, which designates county routes in California. The "A" zone includes county highways in Lassen, Plumas, Shasta, Siskiyou, and Tehama counties.
context_section_description: County Route A28 is a two-lane rural highway. A28 begins at CR A12 in Grenada, connecting Grenada with I-5 near Hornbrook via Montague. It is a flat, level route, and for this reason, was the original preferred routing for both US 99 and I-5 through the area. In both instances, the routing was changed because of intense lobbying by officials in Yreka, who decried the fact that the major highway through the county would bypass the county seat. Thus, both highways ended up being built over far more rigorous terrain at a huge cost increase.
  A28 serves the aforementioned three towns, as well as numerous homes and ranches along the way.
