State Route 87 (SR 87), locally called the Guadalupe Freeway, is a north–south state highway entirely within San Jose, California, United States, with as exception a very small portion that is part of the unincorporated county. 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. For most of its length, especially in Downtown San Jose, the highway follows the course of the Guadalupe River. Its southern terminus is at SR 85, and its northern terminus is at U.S. Route 101 (US 101) just north of San Jose International Airport. Unusually, it crosses over Interstate 880 (I-880) without an interchange, making it the only point in California where two freeways cross without a connection.
This route is part of the California Freeway and Expressway System. In 2014, SR 87 had an annual average daily traffic (AADT) of 88000 at US 101, and 176000 between I-280 and CR G8, the latter of which was the highest AADT for the highway. SR 87 has carpool lanes for its entire length.
