Information About

Interstate 205 (california)




}}

Interstate 205 (abbreviated '''I-205''') in California is a short connecting Interstate Highway between Interstate 5 and Interstate 580 south of the town of Lathrop . There are two principal urban areas along the small stretch of interstate, Tracy and the new town of Mountain House .

Most of the stretch of Interstate 205 parallels the Historic U.S. Highway 50 , which is now designated as Business Loop 205. Business Loop 205 is only a couple miles shorter than its parent route, with its eastern terminus at Interstate 5. Although it is well-signed along the route, signs along 205 refer to its actual name; Eleventh Street.

Interstate 205 is frequently congested, as it is the main route between the San Francisco Bay Area and the Stockton / Modesto / Manteca areas of the Northern San Joaquin Valley and is only four lanes wide in its entire length. On September 30 , 2005 , The Modesto Bee reported that funding has been approved to widen I-205 to six lanes between Interstate 5 and ''11th Street'' ( BL -205) in Tracy. "Plan For Widening I-205 Is Approved" , The Modesto Bee, September 30, 2005
