LLNL Emergency Plan Rev-23 October 2017 22 Highways Due to the large volume of vehicle traffic, highway systems in the area are robust. The following interstate highways handle large volumes of vehicle traffic daily, but if interstates are congested, alternate routes are available: • Interstate highway 580 crosses the San Pablo Bay over the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, goes through Richmond as the John T. Knox Freeway, passes through Oakland as the MacArthur Freeway, then continues to Livermore, through the Altamont Pass to Tracy, where it intersects with Interstate 5, thus providing a link with Southern California. • Two interstate highways travel up the East Bay from San Jose. They are Interstate 880, which runs close to the bay to Oakland, and Interstate 680, which stretches inland from San Jose north through Fremont, Pleasanton, and Concord. Railways Union Pacific Railroad operates freight lines through the Altamont Pass, Livermore, Pleasanton, and Niles Canyon.
