Interstate 980
Encyclopedia : I : IN : INT : Interstate 980
Interstate 980 (abbreviated I-980) is a short Interstate spur in northern California connecting Interstate 580 and California State Highway 24 to Interstate 880 via downtown Oakland. I-980 passes the Oakland Convention Center and the famous Jack London Square.
The route is never signed by itself; that is, signs along Interstate 580 and Route 24 read "980 to 880" and signs along Interstate 880 read "980 to 24". Roadside signs eastbound between 880 and 580 refer to it as CA-24, even though it is defined as Interstate 980 through that section. Westbound the highway is signed as I-980. Interstate 980 was used as an alternate route between Oakland and San Francisco when the Cypress Viaduct collapsed in the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989. Traffic headed from the south would have to use 980 to 580 west to 80 west to get across the Bay Bridge to get to San Francisco.
