Interstate 580

(Redirected from I-580 (CA))
Another Interstate 580 exists in Reno, Nevada, but is signed only as US 395.
The Interstate 580 number was also used for part of US 75 in Omaha, Nebraska.

Interstate 580 (MacArthur Freeway) in northern California is a heavily traveled, fairly long spur route of Interstate 80 that connects the San Francisco Bay Area to Interstate 5 in the state's Central Valley. The western terminus of I-580 is north of San Francisco in San Rafael, at a junction with U.S. Highway 101. The eastern terminus is with I-5 southeast of Tracy. It was named after General Douglas MacArthur in 1968. Leaving San Rafael, I-580 runs next to the San Quentin State Prison before crossing San Francisco Bay over the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge.

Notes

On the section of 10-lane freeway that is designated both I-80 and I-580, from Emeryville to Albany, the two routes are running in opposite directions. That is, while a vehicle is physically moving north on the road, it is on both I-80 East and I-580 West.
