====Highways and expressways==== [[File:I-80 Eastshore Fwy.jpg|alt=|thumb|Looking south above [[Interstate 80]], the Eastshore Freeway, on a Saturday afternoon. [[Emeryville, California]], is at the towers. To the right is the east shore of the [[San Francisco Bay]].]] * [[Interstate 80 (California)|Interstate 80]] cuts through the eastern and northeastern portions of the city, through a mostly residential area, connecting to Pinole, Hercules and then on to [[Vallejo, California|Vallejo]] via the [[Carquinez Bridge]] in the eastbound direction, and through [[Albany, California|Albany]], [[Berkeley, California|Berkeley]], [[Emeryville, California|Emeryville]] and eventually terminating in San Francisco via the [[San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge|Bay Bridge]] in the westbound direction. The weekday westbound morning commute on I-80 through Richmond lies within the most congested stretch of freeway in the Bay Area, according to [[Caltrans]], and has been ranked as such since 2001.<ref>{{cite web |title = Bay Area Freeway Congestion Up for Third Straight Year in 2006 |publisher = Metropolitan Transportation Commission |date = June 18, 2007 |url = http://www.mtc.ca.gov/news/press_releases/rel407.htm |access-date = June 26, 2007 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070626120049/http://www.mtc.ca.gov/news/press_releases/rel407.htm |archive-date = June 26, 2007 |url-status = dead |df = mdy-all }}</ref> * [[Interstate 580 (California)|Interstate 580]] curves along the southern waterside of Richmond and merges into I-80 in [[Albany, California|Albany]] in the southern [[Oakland, California|Oakland]]/San Francisco direction while slicing through mixed medium and heavy industries and homes through [[Point Richmond]] and onto the [[Richmond–San Rafael Bridge]] over the [[San Pablo Bay]] segment of the [[San Francisco Bay]] into [[San Rafael, California|San Rafael]] and [[Marin County, California|Marin County]]. * The [[Richmond Parkway (California)|Richmond Parkway]], built between the early 1990s and early 2000s, connects I-580 in the Point Richmond area in the southwest to the [[Hilltop Area]] and I-80, and runs along the city's heavily industrial western side and through the unincorporated area of [[North Richmond, California|North Richmond]]. It has been proposed that it be upgraded to a state highway and be redesignated: [[California State Route 93|State Route 93]] and transferred to the authority of Caltrans. * [[San Pablo Avenue]] ([[California State Route 123|State Route 123]]) runs through Richmond and San Pablo to Pinole, Hercules and to its terminus in [[Crockett, California|Crockett]], and south through El Cerrito, Albany, [[Emeryville, California|Emeryville]], and Berkeley, until it runs into [[Oscar Grant Plaza|Frank Ogawa Plaza]] in [[Oakland, California|Oakland]].
