Route Description
I-805, also known as the Jacob Dekema Freeway or simply, the 805, serves the San Diego metropolitan area and acts as an alternate loop route of Interstate 5. The southern terminus departs from I-5 just north of the U.S.-Mexico border at San Ysidro, California. I-805 then goes through National City, California, Chula Vista, California, and Mira Mesa, California. The northern terminus is in Sorrento Valley, California, and there is an HOV lane that goes through the merge to rejoin I-5.
Future aspirations
There is much construction going on at the northern terminus of I-805, with a truck bypass being built to serve local traffic such as traffic for California State Route 56. This work will be completed in the late 2000s. Also, there are plans to reconstruct the I-5-I-805 interchange as well as the addition of HOV Lanes between SR-52 and Mira Mesa Boulevard.
