I-5 closed South of Stockton
If you haven't heard, I-5 is closed about 30 miles south of Stockton from a sink hole. It's supposed to be back open in another day or two. It's closed just north of Highway 132.
But, if you need to travel that way take I-5 anyway. Because it's closed everybody is jumping over to 99 and 99 is packed! I-5 is almost empty because of the closure. But don't take the Caltrans detour. It is packed too.
If you're going North on I-5, take 580 toward San Francisco. Take the Mountain House Road exit and follow Mountain House Road over to 205. Take 205 east and it will merge right back onto I-5 for you. Do the opposite if heading south. 205 to Mountain House Rd to 580 and then head south and that puts you right back on I-5.
