SR 66 SR 68

State Route 67 (SR 67) runs from Interstate 8 in El Cajon to Lakeside as the San Vicente Freeway. It then becomes a smaller roadway through Poway and becomes Main Street in Ramona before ending into State Route 78.

In 2004, it was planned that Route 67 would be upgraded to freeway grade a little bit farther up through Lakeside, but there are no plans yet to continue even further. In 1964, it was planned that SR 67 would be the eastern terminus of State Route 56, but local opposition from Poway to extend SR 56 through their city has essentially canceled this as well.

Route description

This route is part of the California Freeway and Expressway System.[2] The route is named CHP Officer Christopher D. Lydon Memorial Freeway from Interstate 8 to Mapleview Street in Lakeside.[3]

SR 67 begins at I-8 and turns to the north near the Westfield Parkway shopping center in El Cajon. The freeway leaves the El Cajon city limits, entering the city of Santee near Gillespie Field. Near the Woodside Avenue exit, SR 67 turns to the northeast, paralleling the San Diego River and entering the unincorporated area of Eucalyptus Hills. The freeway ends and SR 67 turns north into a conventional highway at Mapleview Street, crossing the San Diego River and entering Moreno. SR 67 enters the rural area east of Sycamore Canyon County Open Space Preserve, passing to the west of San Vicente Reservoir. The road intersects the eastern end of Scripps Poway Parkway and CR S4, the latter within the Poway city limits.

In eastern Poway, SR 67 turns east, eventually leaving the city and entering unincorporated Rock Haven. The road continues near Rosemont before turning northeast and becoming Julian Road and then Main Street in downtown Ramona. SR 67 ends at the intersection with SR 78; SR 78 intersects to the northwest as Pine Street and continues northeast along Main Street towards Julian.[4]
