State Route 113


SR 113 crosses the Sacramento River on this drawbridge near Knights Landing. It was built in 1933 and expanded in 1949. This view looks north toward the Yolo-Sutter County Line. - 01/01/2005
California 113 begins at California 12 between Birds Landing and Rio Vista, then leads north to Dixon before merging with Interstate 80 eastbound. California 113 turns north as a freeway at Davis, and it meets Interstate 5 at Woodland. After merging briefly with Interstate 5, California 113 continues north, parallel to the Sacramento River. It ends at California 99 south of Marysville.
Between Interstate 80 in Davis and Interstate 5 in Woodland, the route of today's California 113 parallels Historic U.S. 99W. At Woodland, U.S. 99W turned north via today's Interstate 5 toward Williams and Red Bluff. Similarly, between Interstate 80 in Davis and California 99, California 113 follows a portion of old U.S. 40 Alternate. After following California 99 (and old California 24) north to Yuba City, U.S. 40 Alternate turned onto California 70 north en route to the Feather River Canyon.

California 113 begins from California 99 south of Yuba City. Between California 99 and Interstate 5, California 113 follows original California 24 and U.S. 40 Alternate. Since this picture was taken, the California 99/113 intersection was realigned to match up with Tudor Road, and a traffic signal was installed to govern the flow of traffic.

California 113 southwest crosses over the Sutter Causeway Bridge toward Knights Landing and Woodland. The Sutter Bypass allows for floodwaters to be carried through the rural farmlands rather than through urban areas, thus reducing potential damage caused by California's often unpredictable weather. It begins at the Sacramento River near Sutter Buttes (east of Colusa) and extends southeast to merge with the Feather River and ultimately with the Sacramento River again near Verona.
