Originally incorporated in the Interstate 5W loop west from the Central Valley to Oakland in 1964, initial construction for Interstate 505 took place at the south end with I-80 in 1968. Most of the freeway in Solano County was built in 1974. The Yolo County portion of I-505 was constructed as a two lane highway in 1959, with expansion to four lanes in 1980.
