Founded in 1844 by European settlers, it has a rich history of culture and was even a major hub for mining during the gold rush. But this city still has plenty of gems remaining..." |

History[]
- In the initial version of American Truck Simulator, Interstate 5 had a TOTSO north of Redding as it intersected with Churn Creek Road at a cloverleaf interchange. US 395 began at an at-grade four-way junction with Churn Creek Road and headed east towards Nevada, while SR 299 began at a diamond interchange with Interstate 5 on Cypress Avenue and headed west to Eureka. Redding featured a Bitumen depot, an Eddy's supermarket, a Gallon Oil refinery and gas station, a Sell Goods warehouse, a Voltison Motors car dealer, a Wallbert warehouse, a hotel, a recruitment agency, and a service shop in a southern part of the city, as well as a Bushnell Farms farm, a rest area, and a truck stop south of the city and a rest area west of the city. The landmark of Redding was the Sacramento River, which wound under numerous roads and highways in the city.
- In update 1.5, as part of the 1:35 to 1:20 map rescale, Interstate 5's TOTSO was removed as its route was straightened. Churn Creek Road was truncated from the cloverleaf interchange to Hartnell Avenue, as Interstate 5 intersected there with a new freeway section of SR 299, which began at an at-grade three-way junction with Market Street and ended east of a new diamond interchange with Victor Avenue. From there, SR 299 headed east towards Nevada on the previous route of US 395. The previous section of SR 299 in Redding was redesignated as SR 44, along which a western part of the city containing Downtown Redding with a rest area was added on Market Street.
- In update 1.31, the cloverleaf interchange of Interstate 5 and SR 299 was rebuilt.
- In update 1.35, SR 299 east of the at-grade three-way junction with Market Street was redesignated as SR 44, as the junction became an at-grade four-way junction and SR 299 was moved to a new section of Market Street and Lake Boulevard, along which a northwestern part of the city was added and of which on the former road a garage was added and on the latter road a diamond interchange with Interstate 5. East of Interstate 5, SR 299 headed east to Alturas, passing a new Deepgrove timber harvest site. The previous section of SR 44 was undesignated.
- In update 1.41, as part of the first phase of the California rework, the roads around Redding were rebuilt. The truck stop south of the city was replaced by the scenery town of Corning and the truck stops there. The rest areas just outside the city, on SR 299 to the west and a minor road to the south, were removed. A weigh station was added on Interstate 5 between Corning and Redding and replaced the previous weigh station north of Sacramento.
- In update 1.44, as part of the second phase of the California rework, Redding was completely reworked. All roads and junctions were rebuilt, and SR 273 and a diamond interchange of Interstate 5 and Knighton Road were added. The Bitumen depot, the Eddy's supermarket, the Gallon Oil refinery and gas station, the Voltison Motors car dealer, the motel, the rest area, and the service shop were removed. A Bushnell Farms cattle auction, a Coastline Mining depot, a Deepgrove sawmill, a large Drake Car Dealer, an HMS Machinery warehouse, a Home Store market, a truck stop with a Gallon Oil unloading point, and an inaccessible airport were added to the southern part of the city, in which the Sell Goods warehouse and the Wallbert warehouse were moved and rebuilt and to which the garage was moved. A USBB factory, a Freightliner truck dealer, and a gas station were added to the northwestern part. A northeastern part featuring a big Wallbert food market was added.

Trivia[]
- Before 1.35 release, in the blog post from SCS called New Road Connections[2], it was quoted that a Truck Dealer would be added, but at the final launch of the update, no dealership was added. It was finally added in 1.44.
