State Route 330 is City Creek Road in the San Bernardino Mountains. At its southerly terminus, it begins in San Bernardino, California at State Route 210 (currently signed as the now defunct State Route 30). It is a freeway for approximately a mile, then turns into a conventional two-lane highway. It runs northeasterly from the San Bernardino Valley into the mountains to Running Springs, California, where it ends at State Route 18. The entire routing is in San Bernardino County.
This road consists of approximately 15 miles (24 km) of 6 percent grade road, and is one of three roads from the San Bernardino City area to the resorts of the San Bernardino National Forest. It alternates between long straight stretches and curved sections. There are three passing lanes, at the 2200 foot (670 m) level, the 4000 foot (1200 m) level, and the 5600 foot (1700 m) level.
The road is currently subject to travel restrictions due to a slope stabilization project being performed by Caltrans.[1] Until late October of 2006, the road will be closed during nighttime hours and daytime travelers must wait for a CHP escort to use the road on days it is open.[2] As of early December of 2006, the restriction is still in place.

[edit] History
This highway was originally a part of Legislative Route 207, defined in 1937. It was signed as State Route 30 until 1972, when State Route 30 was redefined to continue south along former State Route 106 rather than continue northeasterly along 330.[4]
Route 330 is one of only two state routes in California which is numbered based on a parent route (the other being State Route 371), excluding current and future Interstate highways.
