State Route 244 is a short unsigned freeway connection northeast of Sacramento, California, United States. It connects the junction of Interstate 80 and State Route 51 (Interstate 80 Business) with Auburn Boulevard (the old Lincoln Highway - former U.S. Route 40/U.S. Route 99E).
[edit] History
Legislative Route 288 was defined in 1959 as a proposed route from pre-1964 Legislative Route 3 and pre-1964 Legislative Route 242 (now I-80 and SR 51) northeast of Sacramento east to pre-1964 Legislative Route 249 (unbuilt State Route 65 - approximately Sunrise Boulevard) near Fair Oaks. In the 1964 renumbering, this was assigned the number Route 244.
In 1965, an extension was defined from SR 65 east to U.S. Route 50. This piece was removed in 1975, and it was truncated to end at Fair Oaks Boulevard near San Juan Avenue. It was truncated further to Auburn Boulevard, its present terminus, in 1994.[2]
The bridges along the route date from 1971, a year after the bridges on I-80 to the west.[1] (That part of I-80 was Interstate 880 until 1981.)
