California State Route 63

State Route 63 (SR 63) is a north–south state highway in the U.S. state of California in the Central Valley. It begins from near Tulare at Route 137, runs north through the city of Visalia and the towns of Cutler and Orosi, before ending 8 miles (13 km) north of Orange Cove, where it reaches its northern terminus at Route 180, roughly 2 and 1/2 miles southwest of the town of Yokuts Valley. State Route 63 runs concurrent with Route 198 within Visalia.

Route description

Route 63 is defined in section 363 of the California Streets and Highways Code. The definition omits the concurrency with Route 198 instead of duplicating that segment in the other route's definition in the code:

Route 63 is from:

(a) Route 137 near Tulare to Route 198.

(b) Route 198 to Route 180 via the vicinity of Orosi and Orange Cove.

SR 63 begins in the city of Tulare at an intersection with SR 137. It travels due north as Mooney Boulevard before leaving the Tulare city limits. The highway soon enters Visalia, intersecting CR J30 and passing through to the SR 198 freeway, where SR 63 merges with the freeway heading eastbound until the next exit. Following this, SR 63 turns north as a one-way couplet with Locust Street for southbound traffic and Court Street for northbound traffic.
