Historic US 395 in San Diego County

This page will cover the history of US 395 through the county. Bypassed by SR-163 and I-15, much of the roadway remains intact. North of Escondido, the roadway is called Old Highway 395. Some of the original structures remain, others have been removed or modified as a result of I-15 construction.
