Route description

The route begins at State Route 70 near Oroville. It then heads northward through Butte County and intersects Durham-Pentz Road. It then ends at Pearson Road in Paradise.

History

Construction of California State Route 191 was planned in 1962 but wasn't constructed due to U.S. Route 40 Alternate (now California State Route 70) not being moved upward due to Lake Oroville. Construction started in 1963 when U.S. Route 40 Alternate was moved.

The route was completed in 1964 and opened the same year.

Major intersections

The entire route is in Butte County.
