About California State Route 94 in brief
State Route 94 is a state highway in the U.S. state of California that is 63. 324 miles long. The western portion, known as the Martin Luther King Jr. Freeway, begins at Interstate 5 in Downtown San Diego and continues to the end of the freeway portion past SR 125 in Spring Valley. The non-freeway segment of SR 94 that continues east through the mountains to I-8 near Boulevard is known as Campo Road. The road was built along the routing of an old stagecoach road that was part of the primary road from San Diego to Yuma, Arizona in the 19th century. In 2014, SR 94 had an annual average daily traffic of 440 vehicles at Live Oak Springs Road, and 179,000 vehicles between I-805 and 47th Street, the latter of which was the highest AADT for the highway. It is eligible for the State Scenic Highway System, but it is not officially designated as a scenic highway by the California Department of Transportation. The only road through the Peninsular Ranges to stay open for the entirety of the winter was the Campo road, which was only 4,000 feet higher than the rest of the road. The first automobile went on the road in 1904, and work took place to improve the condition of the Road in 1916. In 1928, the Potrero bridge was replaced, after a storm washed it out. In 1931, the Sweetwater bridge was finished in March at a cost of USD 60,000.
The CampoRoad was the only road in San Diego County to remain open through the winter, due to the lower elevation of the area. It was added to the state highway system in 1933, and signs for Route 94 were posted along local roads later that decade. Efforts to convert the western half of the route to a freeway got underway in the 1950s, and the freeway was complete by 1962 west of theRoad that became SR 125. The freeway becomes an undivided highway at Via Mercado in Rancho San Diego, where SR 94 continues east onto old U. S. Route 80 briefly before turning north on Ribbonwood Road west of Boulevard. The route ends by connecting to I 8 near Manzanita. SR 94 is part of the California Freeway and Expressway System; west of SR 188, it ispart of the National Highway System. The highway is considered essential to the country’s economy, defense, and mobility by the Federal Highway Administration by the State Highway Administration. It is not considered a scenic highway by the State Scenic Highway system, though it is eligible to be designated as such by the California Department of Transportation and the State Highways association and the California Department of Transport as part of a joint project with the State of Calfornia to create the California Highways System.
