State Route 905 is a state highway in San Diego, California that connects Interstate 5 and Interstate 805 in San Ysidro to the U.S.-Mexico border at Otay Mesa. The I-5 to I-805 portion is freeway, but currently the rest is an expressway known as Otay Mesa Road.

Route description

Once the highway has been fully upgraded to Interstate standards, it will become Interstate 905 and it will connect to State Route 125. This is critical because Otay Mesa is the only port of entry for trucks in the San Diego area, meaning that trucks must travel on an expressway to get to I-5.

Once designated, it will become only the third three-digit Interstate to touch an international border (the other two being Interstate 190 in New York and Interstate 110 in Texas) and only the second to touch the United States-Mexico border.

History

The majority of SR 905, paralleling Otay Mesa Road from I-5 to SR 125, was added to the state highway system and California Freeway and Expressway System in 1959 as Legislative Route 281,[4] and became part of State Route 75 in the 1964 renumbering.[5] In 1972, the legislature added a new State Route 117, which extended this part of SR 75 southwest to the Mexican border near Border Field State Park, to the state highway system, and a southerly extension of SR 125 to the border at Otay Mesa to the state highway and Freeway and Expressway systems.[6] SR 117 was extended east to SR 125, replacing this southerly segment of SR 75, in 1976.[7] The Federal Highway Administration approved the continuous roadway via SR 117 and SR 125 from I-5 to the border at Otay Mesa as a non-chargeable (not eligible for federal funding) part of the Interstate Highway System in October 1984,[8] and the number was legislatively changed to 905 in 1986.[9] The original piece of SR 117 (west of I-5), which is not part of the Interstate Highway or California Freeway and Expressway Systems, also became SR 905, but Caltrans has no plans to construct it.[citation needed]
