California State Route 87

California State Route 87

State Route 87 (SR 87), locally called Highway 87 or the Guadalupe Freeway, is a north–south state highway entirely within San Jose, California, United States. Its name was changed from Guadalupe Parkway (although signs still refer to it as the Guadalupe Parkway) in 2004 after its entire constructed length was upgraded to a freeway. Its southern terminus is at State Route 85 (West Valley Freeway); its northern terminus is at U.S. Route 101 (Bayshore Freeway), just north of San José International Airport. The highway intersects with Interstate 280 (Junipero Serra Freeway) in downtown San José. Unusually, it crosses above Interstate 880 (Nimitz Freeway) without an interchange. For most of its length, especially in downtown, the highway follows the course of the Guadalupe River.
