Route description
editState Route 220 is defined under the California Streets and Highway Code to run east from State Route 84 on Ryer Island in Solano County to State Route 160 in Sacramento County.[3] The route includes the toll-free Howard Landing Ferry, where the cable-drawn vessel J-Mack takes vehicles across Steamboat Slough.[4] Both the Howard Landing Ferry and the Ryer Island Ferry along State Route 84 are the only state-run ferries, and there are no plans to replace them with bridges due to the low traffic numbers around Ryer Island,[5][6] The only road bridge connecting Ryer Island is on its north side, which results in longer commutes for residents if one or both ferries shutdown.[7]
Major intersections
edit
Except where prefixed with a letter, postmiles were measured on the road as it was in 1964, based on the alignment that existed at the time, and do not necessarily reflect current mileage. R reflects a realignment in the route since then, M indicates a second realignment, L refers to an overlap due to a correction or change, and T indicates postmiles classified as temporary ().[8] Segments that remain unconstructed or have been relinquished to local control may be omitted. The numbers reset at county lines; the start and end postmiles in each county are given in the county column.
