CA 110 extended to I-210 along Fair Oaks Ave
All of CA 170 becomes I-705
All of CA 134 becomes I-310
CA 60 between East LA Interchange (I-5/I-10/US 101) and I-215/CA 91 becomes I-610.
CA 57 between CA 60/I-610 and I-210 becomes I-510
AZ Loop 202 becomes I-410 in Phoenix (unlikely).
CA 58 between I-5 and I-15 becomes I-40 after upgrades (unlikely, regardless).
CA 99 between I-5 (Wheeler Ridge) and I-80 in Sacramento becomes I-7 and CA 7 (CA 7 would run between US 50 and I-80 while I-7 covers the rest). CA 7 in Imperial County would have to be renumbered for this, likely to CA 157.
I-9 is also being considered for the same CA 99 segment but because a CA 9 already exists in the Santa Cruz mountains and familiar with locals for certain attractions, this is VERY unlikely.
CA 210 becomes an extension of I-210 (this one IS confirmed)
