California State Route 54
State Route 54 (SR 54) is a state highway in San Diego, California that connects Interstate 5 (I-5) in Chula Vista and National City to the city of El Cajon. The westernmost part of the highway is a freeway, intersecting with I-5, I-805, and SR 125; the part of the highway east of SR 125 is undivided, and portions are maintained by the county.
The first section of the freeway opened in 1963, east of I-805. The extension of the freeway west to I-5 was delayed because a flood channel for the Sweetwater River was built with the extension. While construction started in 1984, a court stopped the process for a few years, and this portion was not complete until 1992. The final section of freeway, which was upgraded from an expressway, opened in 2007, to coincide with the extension of SR 125 south to Otay Mesa.
Route description
SR 54 starts as a six-lane freeway from I-5 at the mouth of the Sweetwater River in National City, with westbound traffic traversing the north bank of the river and eastbound traffic traversing the south bank. Both sides join near the junction with I-805, and the roadway continues east for several miles through Paradise Hills in San Diego. As the freeway turns north, it merges with SR 125 north, and SR 54 exits at Jamacha Boulevard in La Presa. The routing follows Jamacha Boulevard as an undivided highway northeast through Spring Valley until reaching Campo Road, although some maps only sign Jamacha Boulevard as County Route S17 (CR S17), and the state does not maintain this portion of the route.
