State Route 28 (SR 28) is a state highway in the U.S. state of California that travels along the northern shore of Lake Tahoe, starting at Route 89 in Tahoe City and ending at the Nevada state border, whereupon it becomes Nevada State Route 28.

Route description

SR 28 in Tahoe City

The route begins at SR 89 in Tahoe City and heads eastward. It then intersects SR 267 in Kings Beach and continues to its terminus at Nevada State Route 28 at the Nevada state line. Route 28 is one of only three state routes that keep the same number in Nevada, along with Route 88 and Route 266.

SR 28 is part of the California Freeway and Expressway System, ^[2] but is not part of the National Highway System, ^[3] a network of highways that are considered essential to the country's economy, defense, and mobility by the Federal Highway Administration. ^[4] SR 28 is eligible for the State Scenic Highway System, ^[5] but it is not officially designated as a scenic highway by the California Department of Transportation. ^[6]

History

The original SR 28 highway, connecting the Mendocino coast to the Sacramento Valley, was renumbered SR 128 in 1952, allowing the present-day SR 28 to coordinate its numbering with Nevada State Route 28. ^[7]

Major intersections

Except where prefixed with a letter, postmiles were measured on the road as it was in 1964, based on the alignment that existed at the time, and do not necessarily reflect current mileage. R reflects a realignment in the route since then, M indicates a second realignment, L refers to an overlap due to a correction or change, and T indicates postmiles classified as temporary (for a full list of prefixes, see California postmile § Official postmile definitions ). ^[1] Segments that remain unconstructed or have been relinquished to local control may be omitted. The entire route is in Placer County.
