i210
Route 210, consisting of State Route 210 (SR 210) and Interstate 210 (I-210), is a state and auxiliary Interstate Highway in the Los Angeles metropolitan area of the U.S. state of California. Designated as the Foothill Freeway for its entire length, it runs from I-5 in the Sylmar district of Los Angeles near the Santa Clarita city limits east to I-10 in Redlands. The western segment from I-5 to SR 57 in Glendora is signed as I-210, while the eastern segment to I-10 in Redlands is signed as SR 210.
The Foothill Freeway name is a reference to Foothill Boulevard and the San Gabriel Mountains, both of which the freeway runs parallel to for most of its length. The freeway connects Los Angeles with its northern suburbs following the foothills of these mountains. Historically, the Foothill Freeway spanned multiple numerical designations. Additionally, the I-210 designation has changed routings, previously including a portion of what is now the Orange Freeway (SR 57). East of Pasadena, the Foothill Freeway parallels, and in some parts replaced, the route of former U.S. Route 66.
The portion between I-5 and SR 259 in San Bernardino was up to Interstate Highway standards by 2007, but the eastern segment remains signed as a state route because the portion between SR 259 and I-10 does not meet those standards.
