In California, the former western branch of Interstate 5 (the northern end of
7980-466: The east and generally follows the Union Pacific Railroad between Stockton and Sacramento . CR J8 runs from State Route 99 at Hammer Lane in Stockton to SR 99 at Broadway in Sacramento. The route is known as Hammer Lane in Stockton, Thornton Road , Franklin Boulevard , and a tiny portion of Broadway in Sacramento. County Route J8 starts at the interchange of Hammer Lane and State Route 99 in Stockton . The route proceeds west on Hammer Lane to
8094-477: The eastern side of Griffith Park . The route continues through the San Fernando Valley , intersecting the Ventura Freeway (SR 134). It briefly enters the city of Glendale and then Burbank , passing near Burbank Airport before reentering the Los Angeles city limits and intersecting the northern end of the Hollywood Freeway (SR 170). Near the city of San Fernando , I-5 intersects SR 118 . Following this, I-5 intersects three routes in succession:
8208-561: The far more remote western edge of the Central Valley , and is largely removed from the major population centers such as Bakersfield, Fresno and Modesto ; other state highways provide connections. I-5 still runs within the vicinity of Avenal , Coalinga , Los Banos , and a handful of other smaller cities on the western edge of the Central Valley. For most of this section, the Path ;15 electrical transmission corridor follows
8322-599: The former site of Castle Air Force Base in Atwater. Upon crossing the Merced River, the route continues in Stanislaus County as Santa Fe Avenue for another 20 mi until it reaches the community of Empire . In Empire, the route briefly co-signs with SR 132 (locally signed as Yosemite Boulevard) for just over 1 mi before turning onto Claus Road, where it skirts the eastern edge of Modesto . The route follows Claus Road for approximately 6.5 mi, passing
8436-612: The former site of the Riverbank Army Ammunition Plant as well as the Rainbow Fields sports park. CR J7 then follows SR 108 (locally signed as Atchison Street) westward in Riverbank for approximately 0.9 mi before turning onto First Street and continuing on a north-south trajectory. Once it crosses the Stanislaus River and enters San Joaquin County, the route is locally signed as Santa Fe Road. At this point, it continues its parallel path with
8550-443: The freeway from the Sacramento River. However, the system slowly clogged up over the years with sand and silt buildup Major repair work of the Boat Section began on May 30, 2008. The construction was to take 40 days to complete, requiring complete northbound and southbound closures on an alternating schedule. In 1992, Caltrans finished upgrading the final 13 mile segment north of Lakehead . I-5 through north San Diego County
8664-495: The freeway. After entering Kern County, the freeway sharply descends for 12 mi (19 km) from 4,144 ft (1,263 m) at the Tejon Pass to 1,499 ft (457 m) at Grapevine near the southernmost point of the San Joaquin Valley , approximately 30 mi (48 km) south of Bakersfield and 5 mi (8.0 km) south of its interchange with SR 99 at Wheeler Ridge . This stretch of I-5 through
8778-602: The highway, forming an infrastructure corridor along with the California Aqueduct . After the Grapevine, I-5 crosses the California Aqueduct. This is first time out of 5 times that I-5 crosses the aqueduct. North of the Grapevine, I-5 intersects SR 166 , SR 119 and SR 43 before meeting SR 58 , a highway that continues east to Bakersfield, near the town of Buttonwillow . I-5 then intersects SR 46 before entering Kings County . From
8892-731: The intersection of Thornton Road, then turns northwest, following Thornton Road from Stockton to the Sacramento County line north of Thornton . North of Thornton, the route proceeds slightly away from I-5 until it parallels the Union Pacific Railroad and crosses the Cosumnes River into Sacramento County. From here the route is known as Franklin Boulevard and proceeds north to the town of Franklin . Northbound traffic must turn east onto Bilby Road to cross
9006-476: The junction of State Route 160 at the Walnut Grove Bridge in the town of Walnut Grove. At the eastern end of the bridge, it meets River Road ( CR E13 ). The route proceeds south on River Road briefly along the levee of the Sacramento River and Georgiana Slough before leaving the levee and turning east onto Walnut Grove Thornton Road. The route crosses into San Joaquin County as Walnut Grove Road at
9120-465: The junction with State Route 108 near Del Rio . It continues north as McHenry Avenue to the junction with State Route 120 in Escalon . Continuing north as Escalon Avenue, it becomes Escalon-Bellota Road as it leaves Escalon, eventually crossing State Route 4 in Farmington and ending at its northern terminus at State Route 26 in Bellota , 4 miles east of Linden . County Route J7 (CR J7)
9234-616: The last three miles from SR 78 to Oceanside Harbor Drive, however, there is a lack of funding for them, and there are no plans to set aside funding from the state to construct them. In Orange County, the HOV lane opened in the mid-1990s between SR 1 and SR 91, following the widening of the freeway between SR 55 and SR 91, between SR 91 and Artesia Boulevard in 2010, and between SR 1 and Avenida Pico in 2018. Multiple carpool flyovers were constructed during this time to connect motorists from one freeway's carpool lanes to
9348-681: The name was chosen in a public contest in 1927, but was never officially adopted. Since the construction of I-5, it has taken over the term "Golden State Freeway" from 99 south of the latter's southern terminus in Kern County. The Golden State Freeway was proposed by the California Highway Commission in 1953. The proposal drew strong criticism from East Los Angeles residents as it would dissect and eliminate large residential and commercial areas of Boyle Heights and Hollenbeck Heights. The proposal also seemed to indicate
9462-520: The newspaper The Eastside Sun wrote the freeway led to the "eradication, obliteration, razing, moving, ripping asunder, demolishing of Eastside homes." A widowed Edendale resident, Lomie Puckett, resisted the condemnation of one of her rental properties in August 1958 by using a rifle to threaten state workers and police. After a five-day standoff with police, the home was seized and later demolished. The section between Orange County and Los Angeles
9576-536: The next (see Exit List for a list of them). In 2013, ground broke on a major expansion of the freeway through La Mirada and Norwalk in neighboring Los Angeles County to the I-605 interchange, which included a carpool lane to Florence Avenue. The carpool lane fully opened in 2023. Currently, in San Clemente, there are studies to extend the carpool lanes from their current terminus at Avenida Pico to Cristianitos Road at
9690-647: The next 18 mi (29 km). Toward the northern end of its routing through Camp Pendleton, I-5 passes through San Onofre State Beach and near the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station . I-5 enters Orange County at the Cristianitos Road exit. Upon entering Orange County, I-5 goes through San Clemente . At Dana Point , I-5 turns inland while SR 1 continues along the coast. I-5 then heads due north through San Juan Capistrano and Mission Viejo , intersecting
9804-480: The north. As CR J18 reaches State Route 165 , it diverges from River Road as it is co-routed with SR 165 for a very brief distance. After departing from SR 165, CR J18 is routed onto Westside Boulevard all the way to its eastern end at State Route 99 . The road itself continues as Bellevue Road for a short distance, but does not connect with Bellevue Road in Atwater due to a Dole processing plant currently occupying
9918-684: The northern end of I-405, the western end of I-210 , and the southern end of SR 14 at the Newhall Pass interchange . It then crosses the Newhall Pass through the Santa Susana Mountains into the Santa Clarita Valley . I-5's carpool lanes also have direct connectors with the carpool lanes on the SR ;170 and SR 14 freeways (an additional direct connector with the HOV lanes on I-405 near Mission Hills
10032-527: The northern section of Stockton in San Joaquin County with the city of Galt in Sacramento County . A majority of the route is locally signed as Lower Sacramento Road , with Turner Road connecting the two segments of Lower Sacramento Road. In Galt, it is known as Lincoln Way . The route also connects through the city of Lodi , as well as the historic community of Woodbridge . CR J10 begins at Hammer Lane ( County Route J8 ) at its southern terminus. It then travels approximately 7 mi until it reaches
10146-408: The old Ridge Route, but was not enough to satisfy demand, and a conversion to a four-lane expressway was needed. The outbreak of World War II delayed this until 1948 and the fourth lane was completed in 1952. However, just three years later, plans were begun for converting the four-lane expressway to a six-lane freeway. The last major alteration to the Ridge Route began in the early 1960s. By then,
10260-523: The only direct access to SR 56 going northbound. North of the San Diego city limits, I-5 enters the city limits of Solana Beach , and then three incorporated cities to the north: Encinitas , Carlsbad and Oceanside . In Oceanside, I-5 intersects the SR 78 freeway and the SR 76 expressway and continues through Camp Pendleton . It then follows the Pacific Ocean coastline for
10374-589: The original overpasses were retained, and some undercrossings also have no right hand shoulder as a result. A third phase saw the widening between SR 134 and Buena Vista Street, and the carpool lane opened in 2022. This phase gave room for the replacement of the Burbank Boulevard bridge, and the opening of a new interchange at Empire Avenue, which replaced the Scott Road and Lincoln Street interchanges. The Empire Avenue interchange opened in 2019 and
10488-669: The outer San Francisco Bay Area from the San Joaquin Valley . At the Alameda-San Joaquin county line, CR J2 becomes Corral Hollow Road and enters the narrow valley of the same name. Upon approaching the San Joaquin Valley, the road turns northward, meeting Interstate 580 again and arriving at the southern subdivisions of Tracy . After passing through this city, the road passes under Interstate 205 (with no access), shifts briefly onto Lammers Road, and soon turns northward onto Tracy Boulevard. CR J2 then crosses
10602-457: The plan for a six-lane freeway had expanded to eight lanes. This construction project made the most changes to the route. Many of the curves that followed the mountainside were cut through. To climb the mountain on the south side of Castaic more easily, traffic lanes were reversed (southbound lanes to the east and northbound lanes to the west). To prevent head-on collisions , the two ends of the route were separated on two different mountainsides, and
10716-479: The railroad, then turn north on Willard Parkway to rejoin Franklin Boulevard south of its junction with Elk Grove Boulevard ( CR E12 ). Southbound traffic follows the original alignment of Franklin Boulevard to cross the railroad tracks. The route continues north through Elk Grove and parts of the city of Sacramento before its junction with SR 99 at Broadway in Sacramento. County Route J9 (CR J9)
10830-431: The residents of San Clemente during the process, as several bridges may have to be replaced with wider ones, and buildings may have to be demolished for the widening. North of downtown Los Angeles, the freeway is currently going widening, which includes the addition of HOV lanes in four phases. The first phase was the opening of a carpool lane between carpool lane between SR 170 and SR 14 in 2011. A flyover between
10944-561: The rest of the San Francisco Bay Area. Original plans also called for a loop Interstate with a directional suffix, I-5W. This route now roughly corresponds to I-580 from I-5 south of Tracy to Oakland, I-80 from Oakland to Vacaville, and I-505 from Vacaville to I-5 near Dunnigan. I-5W and most of the other Interstates around the country with directional suffixes were eventually renumbered or eliminated, except I-35E and I-35W in Texas and Minnesota. Nevertheless, San Francisco
11058-592: The road's right-of-way . County Route J19 (CR J19) is a county highway in Tulare and Fresno counties in the U.S. state of California. It runs from State Route 198 in Visalia to State Route 63 in Orange Cove . The route is known as Plaza Drive , Road 80 , Alta Avenue , Manning Avenue , and Hills Valley Road . Apart from a few lingering shields, CR J19 is largely unsigned. County Route J20 (CR J20)
11172-631: The route's last 1 mile (1.6 km). The route reaches its northern end at State Route 12 in Lodi . The highway is also known as Stanislaus County Route J3 and San Joaquin County Route J3 , though all but 1 mile (1.6 km) of the route is within San Joaquin County. County Route J4 (CR J4) is a county highway in the U.S. state of California that runs 28 miles (45 km) nominally north–south across portions of San Joaquin , Alameda , and Contra Costa counties that are growing in population and suburbanization. The route connects
11286-466: The second-largest median in California after I-8 's In‑Ko‑Pah grade. In Siskiyou County , I-5 passes through Dunsmuir before intersecting SR 89 near Lake Siskiyou and entering the city of Mount Shasta . North of here, US 97 intersects I-5 in Weed , providing access to Klamath Falls, Oregon . The Interstate then continues to Yreka , intersecting SR 3 and SR 96 before crossing
11400-632: The section of highway between Castaic and Grapevine, through the Tejon Pass. The highway had its origins in the early 1910s, when a route was needed to connect Los Angeles to the Central Valley. Some believed that the only option was the route through the Mojave Desert and the Tehachapi Mountains, but a new route was discovered through the Tejon Pass. This route became known as the Ridge Route and saw almost constant planning, construction, and improvement from 1914 to 1970. The first road
11514-487: The section through Piru Canyon was moved to an entirely new alignment to make room for Pyramid Lake. The project was completed by 1970 and brought the Ridge Route to its current alignment. When the Interstate Highway System was created in 1956, there was discussion about which way to route the interstate through the San Joaquin Valley (Central Valley). Two proposals were considered. One was to convert
11628-458: The southern border of Lodi. From there, it continues another 2 mi to Turner Road. Briefly, Lower Sacramento Road is co-routed with Turner Road for 0.2 mi before again following a north-south route. The route continues on Lower Sacramento Road for another 10 mi before crossing into Sacramento County. At this point, the route becomes locally signed as South Lincoln Way. The route from this point travels another 4 mi, mostly through
11742-458: The spur into the Bay Area) connecting I-80 out of Vacaville to near Dunnigan, previously known as I-5W , was renamed I-505 . Interstate 580 running between I-5 and I-80 was also once designated 5W; what is now I-5 (the stretch that runs through Sacramento) had been originally designated I-5E . The term "Golden State Highway" was the popular name for US 99 through the length of California;
11856-746: The suburbs of the far outer East Bay and the Sacramento River Delta with the northern San Joaquin Valley , running from Airport Way and Kasson Road ( County Route J3 ) to State Route 4 near Discovery Bay . It is known as Durham Ferry Road , Kasson Road , Grant Line Road , Byron Road , Byron Bethany Highway , and Byron Highway . The route begins 9 miles (14 km) southeast of Tracy at Airport Way and Kasson Road ( County Route J3 ), passes through Tracy and Byron , and terminates at State Route 4 between Discovery Bay and Brentwood . The portion between Tracy and Brentwood lies along
11970-581: The towns of Saugus and Newhall , and then crossed Newhall Pass (current route of SR 14, the Antelope Valley Freeway). In 1862, Beale's Cut was made in the construction of a toll wagon road. The 15 ft wide (4.6 m) by 60 ft deep (18 m) "slot" was dug with picks and shovels. That road would become part of the Midway Route. At the turn of the century, it was the most direct automobile route between Los Angeles and
12084-423: The unconstructed corridor of State Route 239 . SAFETEA-LU , federal legislation enacted in 2005, authorized $ 14 million in federal appropriations toward construction of the route. County Route J5 (CR J5) is a county highway in San Joaquin County, California , United States. It runs for about 30 miles (49 km), from State Route 99 in Ripon to Peltier Road ( County Route J12 ) north of Lockeford . It
12198-715: The westerly side of the San Joaquin Valley , Sacramento , and Yreka ; also passing near Santa Ana , Glendale , Woodland , and Red Bluff . I-5 is part of the California Freeway and Expressway System , and is 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 . The segment of I-5 from State Route 89 (SR 89) to US 97 forms part of
12312-642: The western end of SR 52 near La Jolla before entering University City . At Nobel Drive, the San Diego LDS Temple towers over I-5. Shortly afterward, I‑5 passes through the UC San Diego campus and intersects the northern terminus of I-805 before continuing north and intersecting the western end of SR 56 . At this interchange, there is a local bypass that provides the only access to Carmel Mountain Road from both directions and provides
12426-482: Was a county highway in Tuolumne and Mariposa counties in the U.S. state of California. It ran from its western terminus at State Route 49 east and north to State Route 120 . It was the continuation of State Route 132 east of Coulterville . It was renumbered as County Route J132 in 1997 for continuity with the current State Route 132. . County Route J21 (CR J21), known entirely as Dry Creek Drive ,
12540-460: Was a former partial interchange that closed permanently in 2011 due to the interchange that opened with Isabel Avenue ( State Route 84 ) west of Portola. The route follows Portola to Livermore Avenue, where CR J2 turns southward to pass through Livermore's downtown . The highway continues past the southeast edge of Livermore to become Tesla Road and rise into the Diablo Range , which separates
12654-400: Was completed in 1915. It was a slow, winding, two-lane road through the mountains with a speed limit of 15 mph (24 km/h) in some places. However, the need for improvements was realized soon after it was completed. The road was paved after World War I , and several blind turns were opened up ("daylighted"). Even with these improvements in the 1920s, it became clear that a new route
12768-402: Was flooded with 15 ft (4.6 m) of water. Caltrans began constructing this section during the 1960s and 1970s. The freeway was engineered below grade so it would be out of the view of offices and shops in downtown Sacramento. To achieve this, the site was excavated and the seeping water was pumped from the area. An intricate drainage system, water pump and retaining wall are used to protect
12882-442: Was needed to keep up with increasing demand. In 1927, plans were drawn up for a "Ridge Route Alternate", named as it was planned as an addition to the existing Ridge Route and not as a replacement. It opened in 1933 as a three-lane highway through the mountains. The middle or "suicide lane" was used as an overtaking lane for cars in both directions. This route was a great improvement, faster and 9.7 mi (15.6 km) shorter than
12996-546: Was originally designed to have three lanes in each direction. Due to high traffic demand, the freeway started undergoing major extensions and widening in the early 1990s in Orange County. Work from SR 91 north through the Los Angeles–Orange County line was completed in 2010. Reconstruction between the county line and Interstate 605 began in 2013 and was completed by early 2023. The original route went through
