84-719: A downtown area, I-80 Bus was not assigned to the pre-freeway alignment of US 40 , but to a freeway. The existence of two freeways, both numbered 80, caused some confusion, and, in 1996, the full route was given the Capital City Freeway name at the request of the Sacramento Area Council of Governments. This name appears on overhead signs at prominent interchanges . The route is referred to as Business 80, Biz 80, Capital City Freeway, Cap City Freeway, and US 50 (western section only) by residents and mapmakers. Caltrans does not normally use
126-615: A four-lane divided highway (with provisions for a six-lane freeway) to connect with the North Sacramento Freeway in the vicinity of Arden Way. The new freeway's southern terminus was the surface roads at 29th and 30th streets. At the time, the Elvas Freeway was conceived and built, the Division of Highways was already considering an elevated freeway along the 29th Street/30th Street corridor that would connect with
168-1063: A freeway. The western section of I-80 Bus begins in West Sacramento at I-80 , where I-80 leaves the West Sacramento Freeway onto the Beltline Freeway (which travels north of the Bryte neighborhood, over the Sacramento River, and into the Natomas area). This interchange in West Sacramento is also the current west end of US 50 , as well as the unsigned I-305. The I-80 Bus/US 50/unsigned I-305 segment then runs approximately 5.63 miles (9.06 km) from I-80 west to SR 99 southeast of Downtown Sacramento . In downtown West Sacramento, I-80 Bus/US 50/unsigned I-305 split from
210-499: A local government wants to add landscaping in the center median or install additional traffic lights or other traffic control devices, it can immediately do so itself rather than having to negotiate with Caltrans. Not all cities have been prepared to accept such routes from Caltrans simultaneously, so many have been decommissioned from the state system one fragment at a time. In the case of the San Francisco Bay Area,
252-547: A portion of US 40 , originally ran west from Marconi Avenue to an intersection with Del Paso Boulevard. The section from Arden Way eastbound back to Marconi Avenue is now part of the currently named Capital City Freeway (while the SR ;160 section retains the original freeway name). The original North Sacramento Freeway connected to the Roseville Freeway at the curve north of Marconi Avenue (commonly known as
294-477: A route may also be considered unrelinquished - a new alignment has been built, or the legislative definition has changed to omit the section, but the state still owns the roadway — and are officially Route XU . For example, State Route 14U is an old alignment of State Route 14 whose control has not yet been transferred to the City of Santa Clarita . Some new alignments are considered supplemental and have
336-551: A suffix of S. For example, an expressway replacement for State Route 86 between approximately three miles north of the Imperial / Riverside County line and Interstate 10 east of Indio was initially signed as State Route 86S until it was eventually transferred to SR 86. Likewise, the freeway replacement for State Route 180 in Fresno was initially referred to as State Route 180S . The first legislative routes were defined by
378-501: Is also colloquially referred to as "Cap City Freeway" and "Biz 80" . The entire route is a freeway . It originally carried mainline I-80 through Sacramento until the early 1980s. The eastern half, originally known as the Elvas Freeway, was initially grandfathered into the Interstate Highway System ; however, plans to upgrade or realign this portion to meet Interstate Highway standards were canceled. As such,

462-516: Is listed as "Route 5" in the code. On the other hand, some short routes are instead signed as parts of other routes — for instance, Route 112 and Route 260 are signed as part of the longer State Route 61 , and Route 51 is part of Interstate 80 Business . Concurrences are not explicitly codified in the Streets and Highways Code; such highway segments are listed on only one of the corresponding legislative route numbers — for example,

#1732775704306504-506: Is no such mandate under § 350 for Route 50, thus Caltrans was able to start removing references to I-80 Bus on signage in the US ;50 segment. Caltrans considers the Capital City Freeway to be from the interchange with US 50/SR 99 to I-80. Despite Caltrans's official signage and reporting practices, mapmakers may still show the I-305 and SR 51 designations, as well as
546-504: Is tasked with patrolling all state highways to enforce traffic laws. California's highway system is governed pursuant to Division 1 of the California Streets and Highways Code , which is one of the 29 California Codes enacted by the state legislature. Since July 1 of 1964, the majority of legislative route numbers , those defined in the Streets and Highways Code, match the sign route numbers . For example, Interstate 5
588-496: The 5 to L.A. "), while the former use the number alone (e.g. "taking 80 to San Francisco ") or less frequently, with "I-" in the case of interstate freeways. The Southern California usage of the definite article is seen as stereotypical of Southern California "surfer" culture, and has been parodied in the recurring Saturday Night Live sketch " The Californians ". When the Southern California freeway system
630-595: The California State Legislature extended US 50 west to cover the western half of old I-80, and the eastern half was assigned the new SR 51 number and designated as I-80 Bus. The signage change from I-880 to I-80, and the previous I-80 to I-80 Bus was installed in November 1983. The old I-80 was not signed as SR 51 but as a business route . Unlike most business routes in California, which run along locally-maintained streets through
672-620: The I-80 / I-580 concurrency, known as the Eastshore Freeway , only falls under the Route 80 description in the highway code while the definition of Route 580 is broken into non-contiguous segments. The state may relinquish segments of highways and turn them over to local control. If the relinquished segment is in the middle of the highway's route, the local jurisdiction is usually required to install and maintain signs directing drivers to
714-495: The Streets and Highways Code (Sections 300–635) . Most of these are numbered in a statewide system, and are known as State Route X (abbreviated SR X ). United States Numbered Highways are labeled US X , and Interstate Highways are Interstate X . Under the code, the state assigns a unique Route X to each highway, and does not differentiate between state, US, or Interstate highways. The California Highway Patrol (CHP)
756-645: The California Division of Highways (predecessor to Caltrans). The California sign route numbers were assigned in a geographical system, completely independent of the legislative routes. Odd-numbered routes ran north–south and even-numbered routes ran east–west. The routes were split among southern California (ACSC) and central and northern California (CSAA) as follows: For instance, State Route 1 and State Route 4 were in central and northern California, and State Route 2 and State Route 3 (since moved) were in southern California. A rough grid
798-516: The Caltrans district responsible for that region is granted permission to retain in the State highway system routes that run on conventional (non freeway or expressway) roadways unless a freeway is built to bypass the surface street route. One cultural difference between Northern and Southern Californians is that the latter tend to put the definite article "the" before highway numbers (e.g. "taking
840-498: The Elvas Freeway portion just north of A Street. The State Division of Highways (predecessor to Caltrans) constructed Sacramento's freeways system incrementally from the 1940s to the 1970s. The plan for the Elvas Freeway was presented in the Sacramento Area Traffic Survey in 1947–1948, and the freeway was built between 1950 and 1955. The Division of Highways built the 2.9-mile (4.7 km) Elvas Freeway as
882-524: The I-80 Bus designation, except for signage and other related concepts like Cal-NExUS exit numbers (which are continuous along the business loop). Caltrans refers to the western half as US 50 and the eastern half as SR 51 for traffic condition reporting. Under the California Streets and Highways Code § 351.1 , "Route 51 shall be signed Interstate Business Loop 80". There

#1732775704306924-579: The I-80 Bus/US ;50 concurrency on the western segment. The SR 99 concurrency , running along US 50 and I-5 to northern Sacramento, is also not officially designated by Caltrans, but mapmakers will still also often show it as such. An earlier SR 51 was defined on July 1, 1964 on a section of pre-1964 Legislative Route 2 , providing a loop east of I-5 ( pre-1964 Legislative Route 174 there) through Orange via Main Street, around
966-903: The I-80 bypass freeway from the Interstate System. In 1980 California submitted to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) proposals to relocate I-80 in Sacramento onto then I-880, extend US 50 west to cover the west half of old I-80, and to assign I-305 to the west half of old I-80, and delete I-880 in the Sacramento area (the route would eventually be relocated to then SR 17 from I-280 in San Jose to I-80 in Oakland in 1982–1984). AASHTO approved these proposals. The next year,
1008-405: The I-80 designation through Sacramento was moved to a northern bypass of the city that had previously been signed I-880 , and the former routing was then designated as Business 80. I-80 Bus then consisted of two connected segments. The western segment ran concurrently signed with US Route 50 (US 50) and also carried the unsigned designation of I-305. The eastern segment was assigned
1050-510: The Marconi Curve, where the freeway once ended at Auburn Boulevard). At the east end of I-80 Bus, the Roseville Freeway continues northeast to Roseville as I-80, while the short unsigned SR 244 heads east to Auburn Boulevard. I-80 heads in both directions around the north side of Sacramento. A partially built portion of a never completed replacement freeway for SR 51, in the median of I-80, now serves as parking and access for
1092-534: The State Highway Bond Act in 1909, passed by the California State Legislature and signed by Governor James Gillett . These, and later extensions to the system, were numbered sequentially. No signs were erected for these routes. The United States Numbered Highways were assigned by the American Association of State Highway Officials (AASHO) in November 1926, but posting did not begin in California until January 1928. These were assigned to some of
1134-463: The US 50 segment of I-80 Bus, California Streets and Highways Code § 351.1 mandates that "Route 51 shall be signed Interstate Business Loop 80". However, exit numbers assigned along SR 51 start at 6 instead of 1 or 0, treating I-80 Bus as one continuous route. At the interchange southeast of Downtown Sacramento, I-80 Bus turns north onto unsigned SR 51 near its southern end. US 50 continues east, SR 99 heads south, and
1176-703: The West Sacramento Freeway, which is now locally maintained in part over the Tower Bridge up to the door of the capitol but was once designated as SR 275 . I-80 Bus/US 50/unsigned I-305 then crosses the Sacramento River on the Pioneer Memorial Bridge , intersecting with I-5 on the eastern river bank. It then runs on top of an embankment between W and X streets to SR 99. The W-X Freeway gets its name from running parallel to W and X streets. Beginning in 2016, signs along
1218-434: The continuation of that highway; they are not generally required to do so if the relinquishment effectively truncates the highway at one end, or is done as part of the process to re-route a highway. The state may also delete a highway completely and turn over an entire state route to local control. Business routes are not maintained by the state unless they are also assigned legislative route numbers. A route or sections of
1260-654: The entire route under one I-80 Bus exit list. SR 51 is part of the California Freeway and Expressway System , and both SR 51 and I-305 are 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 (FHWA). Currently, I-80 Bus is the only Interstate business route in California to exist as
1302-563: The main legislative routes in California. Initially, signs were posted by the Automobile Club of Southern California (ACSC) and California State Automobile Association (CSAA), which had been active in signing national auto trails and local roads since the mid-1900s. In 1934, after the major expansion of the state highway system in 1933 by the California Legislature, California sign route numbers were assigned by

The list of routes, as defined in the California Streets and Highways code, is split into the following pages: Interstate 80 Business (Sacramento, California) Interstate 80 Business ( I-80 Bus ), called the Capital City Freeway in its entirety and also known as Business 80 , is a business loop of Interstate 80 (I-80) through Sacramento, California , United States. The route
1470-614: The then proposed South Sacramento Freeway (SR 99). The Division of Highways went on to complete the Fort Sutter Viaduct along the 29th Street/30th Street corridor in 1968, which led the Division of Highways to convert the Elvas Freeway from four to six lanes in 1965. The Sacramento River Viaduct was completed in 1966, the Southside Park Viaduct was completed in 1967, and the rest of the W-X Freeway
1512-562: The unsigned I-305 ends. The elevated freeway carrying I-80 Bus east of downtown is between 29th and 30th streets, and an older section beginning at A Street and continuing northeast was originally known as the Elvas Freeway (and originally signed as US 99E ). On this section of freeway, I-80 Bus crosses the American River before its northeast-bound merge with the North Sacramento Freeway (the northern portion of SR 160 toward downtown). The North Sacramento Freeway, originally
1554-441: The unsigned designation of State Route 51 ( SR 51 ). After travelers complained that I-80 Bus was difficult to follow, it was named the Capital City Freeway in 1996. As part of a resigning project which commenced in 2016, references to I-80 Bus on the western segment were being removed, subsequently leaving that portion only signed as US 50. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) however still lists
1596-463: The western segment were being updated to remove references to I-80 Bus and instead sign the route only as US 50. However, Caltrans still lists this segment under the I-80 Bus exit list instead of the US 50 one, and mapmakers to this day may continue to sign both the eastern and western sections as part of I-80 Bus. State Route 51 ( SR 51 ) is an unsigned state highway that begins at SR 99 and heads north toward I-80. Unlike
1638-609: Was built in the 1940s and early 1950s, local common usage was primarily the freeway name preceded by the definite article, such as "the Hollywood Freeway". It took several decades for Southern California locals to start to commonly refer to the freeways with the numerical designations, but usage of the definite article persisted. For example, it evolved to "the 605 Freeway" and then shortened to "the 605". This did not occur in Northern California, where usage of
1680-528: Was completed in 1968. The Elvas Freeway was connected to the W-X Freeway to the west and US 50 to the east, in 1968 and 1971, respectively. The W-X Freeway and the Elvas Freeway were signed as I-80. Between 1968 and 1975, a 5.2-mile (8.4 km) bypass was proposed that was to straighten the alignment of I-80 and increase its capacity. The Sacramento City Council voted in September 1979 to delete
1722-500: Was made, aligning them with the sign routes. Some changes were also made to the sign routes, mostly related to decommissionings of U.S. Routes in favor of Interstates. Since the 1990s, many non- freeway routes, especially in urban areas , have been deleted and turned over to local control. This transfers the cost of maintaining them from state to local budgets, but also gives local governments direct control over urban arterial roads that carry primarily local traffic. Once transferred, if
