California State Route 193

State Route 193 (SR 193) is a state highway in the U.S. state of California that runs through Placer and El Dorado counties. It begins as an east–west arterial road running from Lincoln to Newcastle, just west of Auburn. Then after concurrencies with Interstate 80 and State Route 49 through Auburn, SR 193 resumes heading eastward from Cool to Georgetown, then turning south to rejoin SR 49 just north of Placerville.

Route description

Route 193 is defined in section 493, subsection (a) of the California Streets and Highways Code:

Route 193 is from: (1) The City of Lincoln to Route 80 near the City of Newcastle. (2) Route 49 near the community of Cool to Route 49 near the City of Placerville through the Town of Georgetown.

The definition omits the concurrencies with Route 80 and Route 49 instead of duplicating those segments in the other routes' definitions in the code. Control of the former western end of Route 193 at Route 65 in Lincoln was relinquished by the state to the city, and subdivision (b) mandates that it is no longer eligible to be re-adopted as a state highway. Subdivision (c) also permits the state to relinquish additional segments within Lincoln.

SR 193 begins at the eastern city limits of Lincoln. The route formerly began at a junction with what was then SR 65 (now Lincoln Boulevard) in Lincoln, and was known as McBean Park Drive (SR 65 has since relocated to a new bypass alignment). Control of that portion of SR 193 was relinquished to the City of Lincoln in February 2011. The city has since been annexing more territory to the east to include increasing areas of residential development, and has taken control of more segments of SR 193 from the state.

Heading east from Lincoln, SR 193 runs through rural Placer County as Lincoln Newcastle Highway. It then passes over the tunnel containing Taylor Road before heading east on Taylor Road to an interchange with I-80 in Newcastle.

SR 193 runs concurrently on I-80 eastbound into the city of Auburn, where it then leaves I-80 and runs concurrently with SR 49. These concurrencies are unsigned. SR 193 resumes as Georgetown Road, heading east from SR 49, the town of Cool, and the Auburn State Recreation Area. The highway passes through the towns of Fords Corner, Greenwood, and Georgetown before turning south and encountering the town of Kelsey after several miles. SR 193 terminates at the northern city limits of Placerville at its second junction with SR 49.

SR 193 is part of the California Freeway and Expressway System, but is not part of the National Highway System, a network of highways that are considered essential to the country's economy, defense, and mobility by the Federal Highway Administration.
