Interstate 580 (MacArthur Freeway) in northern California is a heavily traveled, fairly long spur route of Interstate 80 that connects the San Francisco Bay Area to Interstate 5 in the central valleys of the state. The western terminus of I-580 is north of San Francisco in San Rafael, at a junction with U.S. Highway 101. The eastern terminus is with I-5 southeast of Tracy. It was named after General Douglas MacArthur in 1968. Leaving San Rafael, I-580 runs next to the San Quentin State Prison before crossing San Francisco Bay over the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge.

Notes
On the section of 10-lane freeway that is designated both I-80 and I-580, from Emeryville to Albany, the two routes are running in opposite directions. That is, while a vehicle is physically moving north on the road, it is on both I-80 East and I-580 West.Nevada
Interstate 580 in Nevada is a planned interstate route between Reno and Carson City that is still under construction. I-580 has been part of the Interstate planning in Nevada since the 1950s but has never been completed. Much of the future I-580 will be co-signed with the current U.S. Highway 395 freeway in Reno but will not travel north of Interstate 80. I-580 is slated to be completed in 2008.
