State Route 905 is a state highway in San Diego, California that connects Interstate 5 and Interstate 805 in San Ysidro to the U.S.-Mexico border at Otay Mesa. The I-5 to I-805 portion is freeway, but currently the rest is an expressway known as Otay Mesa Road.
Once the highway has been fully upgraded to Interstate standards, it will become Interstate 905 and it will connect to State Route 125. This is critical because Otay Mesa is the only port of entry for trucks in the San Diego area, meaning that trucks must travel on an expressway to get to I-5.
Once designated, it will become only the third three-digit Interstate to touch an international border (the other two being Interstate 190 in New York and Interstate 110 in Texas) and only the second to touch the United States-Mexico border.

[edit] History
SR 905 was formerly State Route 117 until it was renamed in 1986. According to state law, the 905 is supposed to extend west from the 5 back to the U.S.-Mexico border near Border Field State Park. However, there are currently no plans to actually construct this western segment.
