Interstate 680 connects San Jose to Sacramento
and the Central Valley. It also passes through the inland East
Bay cities of Dublin, San Ramon, Walnut Creek, Martinez and Benicia.
A new northbound span of the Benicia Bridge opened in 2007 and
is the first to feature "Open Road Tolling". Tolls are collected
electronically while drivers whiz by at 65 MPH.
Interstate 680 begins at the I-280/I-680/U.S.
101 interchange in San Jose and continues north to Interstate 80
west of Fairfield. Commuters from the Central Valley region including
Tracy, Manteca, Modesto and Stockton join up with commuters from
the Livermore valley and the East Bay Area to create a ton of traffic
headed out of Silicon Valley during the evening commute. Interstate
680 is also the main escape route out of Silicon Valley residents
during holiday weekends.
