The Richmond Parkway is a connection between Interstate 580 and Interstate 80 through Richmond, California. The original idea for the Richmond Parkway came from a state proposal for State Route 93 in the early 1980s. However, when the state did not implement the plan, local officials assembled $200 million in state and local funds to fund a road largely following the same route as proposed Route 93, which was built in the 1990s.[2] While it mostly functions as an expressway, some parts do not meet state expressway standards.
The city of Richmond would like Caltrans to take it over, but currently Caltrans is not in favor of the idea.[2]
[edit] Major intersections
The entire route is in Contra Costa County, and the entire city limit is Richmond.
