Interstate 880 (abbreviated I-880) is an interstate highway in the San Francisco Bay Area. For most of that distance, it runs parallel to the southeastern shore of San Francisco Bay, where it is called the Nimitz Freeway, after World War II admiral Chester Nimitz, who retired to the Bay Area. Before that, it was the southern segment of the Eastshore Freeway. Due to relatively dense land development along the I-880 corridor, a number of noise barriers have been designed to protect sensitive receptors from elevated sound levels.

Cypress Viaduct Loma Prieta earthquake 1989
Portion of the collapsed Cypress Viaduct in Oakland. A large double-decker section in Oakland, known as the Cypress Street Viaduct, collapsed during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, causing 42 deaths, the greatest loss of life of that earthquake. Rebuilding that section of the freeway took nearly a decade, due to environmental impact concerns, the feeling that the freeway divided the neighborhood, and design considerations. The highway was rebuilt on a new route parallel to rail lines around the outskirts of West Oakland. The former path of the structure, Cypress Street, was renamed Mandela Parkway, and the median where the freeway stood became a landscaped linear park.

Sound barriers Due to high sound levels generated from this highway and the relatively dense urban development in the highway corridor, CalTrans has conducted numerous studies to retrofit the right-of-way with noise barriers. This activity has occurred in Oakland, San Leandro, Hayward, Newark and Fremont. For example in the 1989 widening of I-880 in parts of Newark and Fremont, scientific studies were conducted to determine the need for sound walls and to design optimum heights to achieve Federal noise standards.[6] Caltrans logo The soaring ramps in the stack interchanges favored by Caltrans often provide stunning views. ...

Flood plains Several aspects of the I-880 facility have been constructed in designated floodplains such as the 1990 interchange improvements at Dixon Landing Road. In that case the Federal Highway Administration was required to make a finding that there was no feasible alternative to the new ramp system as designed. In that same study, the FHWA produced an analysis to support the fact that adequate wetlands mitigation had been designed into the improvement project.[7] Gravel floodplain of a glacial river near the Snow Mountains in Alaska, 1902. ...
