28.02 miles [1]; Jacob Dekema Freeway; serves San Diego. Parallels I-5 to the east. I-805 was approved as a chargeable interstate route in July 1958; [4] and was completed in 1975. [2]

The four-level interchange with I-805 and I-8 reportedly contains enough concrete to build a residential sidewalk from San Diego to San Francisco. [3]
