State Route 168 (SR 168) is an east-west state highway in California, USA, which is separated into three distinct segments, in part by the Sierra Nevada mountains. The westernmost segment runs from Fresno east to Huntington Lake along the western slope of the Sierras. The middle segment connects Lake Sabrina in the Eastern Sierras to the city of Bishop. And the easternmost segment of SR 168 then runs from the community of Big Pine to Oasis, just to the west of the Nevada border.
The westernmost segment of SR 168 begins in southeast Fresno at the interchange with State Route 180, where it is known as the Sierra Freeway until it becomes Tollhouse Road near the northeast edge of Clovis. Tollhouse Road is a 4-lane expressway from the end of the freeway to Shepherd Avenue, east of which the highway is mostly an undivided 2-lane road. This segment continues east up into the Sierra Nevada, ending at Huntington Lake along the western slope of the range.
Before the reconstruction of urban Route 168 as a freeway, the route started at SR 41 and Shaw Avenue in Fresno. SR 168 ran along Shaw Avenue, Clovis Avenue, Third Street (Clovis), and Tollhouse Road to the current end of the freeway.
