Sacramento

Does anybody know if I-5 south through Sacramento has been repaved. It was a disaster last fall.
  • I5 in the Sacramento Stockton area has been bad for many years. By the time they finish it will need to be done again. Same for Seattle southbound near Boeing air museum...lost a sewer hose on one trailer and almost lost control of another due porpoising. Super bad for towing.
  • I could so turn this into a political comment.
    But I'll just be quiet and not comment ...

    Actually they just paved a bunch of it just north of Tukwila NB I-5. Still HORRIBLE overall.

    Going South I have given up traveling I-5 south of Sacramento and also the complete disaster of going over the Grapevine with people pulling in front of me constantly.

    I prefer 99 South of Sacramento and take 58 to Tehapichi Pass at Bakersfield on my way South to Palm Springs, CA.

    Just traveled I-5 South of Sacramento and there are MANY very ROUGH places still, really pathetic!!!

    . Okay, thanks for the input.

  • I had a cabinet door torn off last fall on the 5 going through Sacramento. I have been on better gravel roads.
  • Not sure about the Paving but I did just come down the 99 and I keep telling myself to NOT use the 5 any longer! Sometimes I remember that little voice in my ear, sometimes I don't!

    A few year's ago, my Water Heater cover bounced off going n/b on the 5...
