A description of the Interstate 205 / Interstate 5 Corridor

I-205 is an important east/west highway in San Joaquin County.  I-205 begins at Interstate 580 (I-580) in Alameda County and ends at its junction with I-5 in San Joaquin County.    In Alameda County, the route is 0.45 miles in length, and in San Joaquin County the route is 13.39 miles in length.  It crosses the city of Tracy, and serves as a major interregional connector for moving goods and people between the northern San Joaquin Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area.

In California, I-5 begins at the Southern San Diego city limits at the United States/Mexico international boundary and ends at the California/Oregon State line in Siskiyou County.  It is a major north-south interregional freeway of statewide significance; carries a large volume of interstate and interregional traffic; serves major population centers, international border crossings, ports, airports, public transportation facilities, and major travel destinations; and meets national defense requirements.  In District 10, I-5 traverses the counties of Merced, Stanislaus, and San Joaquin.   I-5 also serves as a major interregional connector between the San Joaquin Valley communities and the Pacific Coast areas through its links with other interstate and State routes.

I-205 is a High Emphasis Route in the interregional road system connecting east-west freeways of national and statewide significance.  It carries a large volume of Interstate and interregional traffic, and connects the Port of Oakland, the East Bay and Livermore Valley with agricultural, and industrial areas in San Joaquin County and the Central Valley.  It is a critically important route for the large number of logistical, distribution, and manufacturing facilities located in and adjacent to the corridor which rely on “just in time” delivery of products to Bay Area businesses. This corridor exhibits a heavy directional commute pattern from the Central Valley communities of Stockton, Modesto, and Tracy to the Bay Area employment centers of San Francisco, Oakland and the San Jose area (Silicon Valley).  This corridor also serves as a major gateway for goods movement, which accounts for a high percentage of truck traffic, and is also a major recreational route for activities in the Central Valley and the Sierra Nevada’s.  Based on 2006 data, approximately 102,400 vehicles per day, including 12,200 trucks, travel through the I-205 corridor in the Tracy area.
 
I-5 is a major north-south interregional freeway of statewide significance; carries a large volume of interstate and interregional traffic; serves major population centers, international border crossings, ports, airports, public transportation facilities, and major travel destinations; and meets national defense requirements. In San Joaquin County, I-5 serves as a major interregional connector with I-205 to connect San Joaquin Valley communities and the Pacific Coast areas through links with other Interstate and State Routes.  Based on 2006 data, approximately 114,900 vehicles per day, including 28,100 trucks currently travel I-5 through San Joaquin County.
