California State Route 67
State Route 67 (SR 67) is a state highway in the U.S. state of San Diego County, California. It runs from Interstate 8 in El Cajon to Lakeside as the San Vicente Freeway. It then becomes a highway through Poway and becomes Main Street in Ramona before ending at SR 78. SR 67 thus provides direct access from the city of San Diego to East County, Ramona, and Julian.
The route existed as a railroad corridor since the turn of the 20th century; a highway was built by 1913, and was designated as Route 198 in the state highway system by 1935. A freeway south of Lakeside was built in the late 1960s, and opened to traffic in 1970. Since then, the road north of Lakeside has become notorious for a high number of traffic accidents and related fatalities. Caltrans has made several attempts to remedy the problem and make the road safer. A new interchange with SR 52 was opened in 2011.
