State Route 160

California State Route 160

California 160 follows the original route of California 24 between California 4 at Antioch and Business Loop I-80 (Capital City Freeway) in Sacramento. The non-freeway portion of the state route within Sacramento County was relinquished to local control, creating a segmented route. The western section parallels the Sacramento River in the Delta region and the eastern section is the short North Sacramento Freeway segment.

The North Sacramento Freeway runs from just outside Downtown Sacramento to Business Loop I-80 near the Arden Wye. The city of Sacramento considered taking over maintenance of this freeway from Caltrans in the spring of 1999, The subsequent plan would have downgraded it to a city street with at-grade intersections. According to the city this would allow more development along the highway. This takeover did not happen, and California 160 remains intact along the freeway.

Antioch Bridge

The Antioch Bridge, also known as the Senator John A. Nejedly Bridge, carries California 160 over the San Joaquin River and Stockton Deep Water Channel. The 1.8 mile bridge spans from Antioch-Oakley north to Sherman Island. Built in 1978, the crossing replaced a 1926-built lift bridge.
