Richmond Parkway (originally Richmond Bypass) is an arterial road connecting Interstate 580 and Interstate 80 through Richmond, California. The road allows drivers traveling between Marin County (to the west) and Solano County (to the north) to bypass central Richmond.
History
The original idea for Richmond Parkway came from a state proposal for State Route 93 in the early 1980s.[1] As defined in Section 393 of the California Streets and Highways Code, the proposed State Route 93 connects the proposed State Route 77 extension near Moraga with State Route 24 in Orinda, Interstate 80 at the Pinole–Richmond line, and Interstate 580 in Richmond.[2] The traversable route includes Moraga Way, Camino Pablo, and San Pablo Dam Road. 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.[1]
While it mostly functions as an expressway, parts of Richmond Parkway do not meet state expressway standards, deeming it ineligible for adoption as a state highway under Section 81 of the Streets and Highways Code until local officials bring it up to the state's standards.[1][3]
