Interstate 80 East Corridor Map
Connecting the Bay Area with the Sacramento Region
The Interstate 80 East Corridor operates as an east/west route starting at the Contra Costa/ Solano County line (Carquinez Strait) and ends at SR-113 North. The corridor is approximately 43 miles in length and crosses SR-29, SR-37, SR-12, SR-113, I-505, I-680, and I-780.
Interstate 80 East is part of the Interregional Route System (IRRS) and is classified as a High Emphasis Route connecting the Bay Area with the Sacramento region. The District 4 segment of the Interstate 80 East Corridor is classified as freeway, including the segment that spans the Carquinez Strait. The Carquinez Strait is considered a regional gateway contributing to the national significance of the corridor.
This Interstate, as one of the two such facilities that extend east of the Bay Area, is vital to interregional and regional commuting, freight movement and recreational travel.

Partners and Project Schedule
Caltrans is working in partnership with local agencies and groups to develop a Corridor System Management Plan (CSMP) for the I-80 East Corridor, which begins at the Contra Costa/Solano County line and runs 43 miles east to SR-113 North.
The I-80 CSMP is expected to be completed by Fall 2010. Its recommendations will then be considered in the transportation planning processes that are conducted by Caltrans, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and the Solano Transportation Authority (STA); all agencies that are responsible for funding and implementing regional and interregional-scale transportation projects.
- Complete Draft CSMP (June 2010)
- Adopt Final CSMP (Spet. 2010)
