On August 21, 1933, title to Route 200 was transferred by the County to the State, and the designation was officially changed to Highway 94. Responsibilities for all future highway construction, maintenance and improvements were delegated to the California Department of Transportation. At this time State highways doubled when they took over a lot of the County roads. When the State took over, it was still a narrow dirt road with lots of curves and did not get paved until about 1935.
Now, SR-94 is the main highway that provides access from the San Diego urban area to the southeastern communities of San Diego County and to the Tecate Port of Entry (POE). Travel demands along SR-94 have increased due to growth in the corridor, surrounding land use changes, and the growth in international trade and travel between the United States and Mexico. The corridor also provides access to recreational areas and users both on a seasonal and weekend basis.
