In 1970, Chapter 1473 defined Route 283 as “Route 101 south of Rio Dell to the north end of the Eel River Bridge and Overhead in Rio Dell.” This is the shortest route in the state system in terms of defined length, but in terms of constructed length, Route 77 is shorter by 10 feet.

This is a former routing of US 101 (LRN 1, defined in 1909).

Bridge 04-015 over the Rio Dell-Eel River in Humboldt County is named the "Albert Stanwood Murphy Memorial Bridge". It was built in 1941, and was named by Assembly Concurrent Resolution 23, Chapter 91, in 1977. Albert Stanwood Murphy (b. 1892) was the president of Pacific Lumber and assisted the "Save the Redwoods League" in setting aside redwood park land.

This bridge was later renamed the "Eagle Prairie Bridge" by Senate Concurrent Resolution 90, Chapter 79, in 1990. It was named to commemorate the 50th anniversary of its construction and the 25th anniversary of the incorporation of the city of Rio Dell, formerly known as Eagle Prairie.
