State Route 65 (commonly known as Highway 65) is a north-south state highway composed of two segments connecting Bakersfield to Exeter and Roseville to Olivehurst. While a large section that is supposed to link the two segments is currently unconstructed, a bypass segment around the city of Lincoln is currently in the planning stages.[2]

This route is part of the California Freeway and Expressway System[3].

The northern segment of State Route 65 begins at the interchange with Interstate 80 in Roseville as a freeway heading northwest to Blue Oaks Boulevard where the freeway turns north towards Lincoln. The freeway currently ends south of the Sunset Boulevard intersection in Rocklin where the highway continues as a four-lane expressway. The highway is then reduced to roughly two lanes as it enters downtown Lincoln. The highway heads northwest again outside of Lincoln as a rural two-lane highway, passing through the communties of Sheridan and Wheatland. It assumes its freeway designation a few miles north of Wheatland, ending at State Route 70 in Olivehurst.

A bypass around Lincoln is currently planned to alleviate traffic congestion in and around the city. It will ultimately become a four-lane freeway from Industrial Avenue in Lincoln to Riosa Road in Sheridan. Construction is slated to begin in late 2008 or early 2009.[2]

State Route 65 will eventually become a full limited-access freeway from Interstate 80 in Roseville to Riosa Road in Sheridan once the Lincoln bypass is completed and the traffic signal eliminated at Sunset Boulevard for an interchange.[4]
