(Eastbound Interstate 80 @ junction California
Route 480; San Francisco, California)

Former Route 480 connected Interstate 80 to the
northeastern neighbourhoods of San Francisco. Route 480 overlay the
Embarcardero and terminated in the north near Pier 39. What you see in the
picture above is the transition ramp from Interstate 80 to State Route 480, as taken in 2005.
This ramp was closed to traffic in '05, since Route 480 was essentially dead due
to its collapse in the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. Think of this ramp as
a remnant. As of today, it no longer exists due to reconstruction of
Interstate 80 near the Bay Bridge.
