State Route 275 (SR 275) is a short unsigned state highway in the Sacramento area of the U.S. state of California. The highway is currently defined to be the length of the Tower Bridge between West Sacramento and downtown Sacramento.
Prior to 1996, SR 275 was also known as the West Sacramento Freeway, and was a short spur from Interstate 80 Business / U.S. Route 50 in West Sacramento over the Tower Bridge into downtown Sacramento. West Sacramento completed a project to replace the freeway with a pedestrian-friendly street named Tower Bridge Gateway.
The West Sacramento Freeway begins on Interstate 80 at exit 81 (West Capitol Avenue), the east end of the Yolo Causeway. It soon splits, with I-80 exiting to bypass Sacramento to the north and Interstate 80 Business (legislatively U.S. Route 50) continuing east via exit 82 towards downtown. After one interchange, at Harbor Boulevard (exit 1/1B), the freeway splits again, with Bus. 80 turning abruptly southeast over the Pioneer Memorial Bridge to avoid downtown Sacramento. State Route 275 begins here, at exit 3 of Bus. 80, with full access to and from the intersecting Jefferson Boulevard (State Route 84).
