Interstate 205 in California is a short inter-connecting Interstate Highway joining I-5 just east of Tracy and 5 miles south of Lathrop, CA and Interstate 580, about 2 miles south of the new town of Mountain House. I-205 (and I-180 in Illinois) are the only 3-digit interstates highways that do not serve any cities of 50,000 or greater population.

Although short in length and miles from any major cities, I-205 is frequently congested, being the main route between the San Francisco Bay Area and the Stockton/Modesto/Manteca areas in the Northern San Joaquin Valley. Currently it handles an average of 50,000 vehicles per day. It is only four lanes wide in its entire length. On September 30^th 2005, The Modesto Bee Newspaper reported that funding has been approved to widen I-205 to six lanes between Interstate 5 and 11th Street (B.L.-205) in Tracy. In the August 2^nd  2006 edition, they reported that road closures were to be expected with traffic re-routed by the State Police while a major bridge along the construction route was dismantled as part of the current level of planned work. Completion of the entire project is expected by 2007.
