State Route 275 (SR 275) is an unsigned state highway in the U.S. state of California running between West Sacramento and Downtown Sacramento. Since 1996, the highway has been legally defined to be just the length of the Tower Bridge crossing the Sacramento River. Prior to that year, SR 275 was also known as the West Sacramento Freeway, and was a short spur connecting Interstate 80 Business (BL 80) / U.S. Route 50 (US 50) in West Sacramento, and the Tower Bridge. SR 275 also extended east into Sacramento along the Capitol Mall from the bridge to 9th Street, just west of the California State Capitol. West Sacramento completed a project to replace the freeway with a pedestrian-friendly street initially named Tower Bridge Gateway. The street was renamed Cabaldon Parkway in honor of former West Sacramento mayor Christopher Cabaldon. Nevertheless, some maps may still continue to mark SR 275 as running between BL 80 / US 50 and 9th Street.
