If you believe that, I've got tropical beachfront property with coconut palms and plumeria trees I'd like to sell you. It's up in Wisconsin. :D

As in Bay Bridge, New Benicia Bridge North bound I -680, I-80 in Solano County has been repaved. I-80 Beltline is being repaved and I-305, US-50 and West Business 80 Sacramento in the planning stages.
