Grove Shafter Freeway (Highway 24)

This section of the Grove Shafter Freeway (which links the communities on the other side of the Caldecott Tunnel with the I-80 freeway) was completed in 1969. Its construction was highly controversial with numerous local organizations for the destructive effects it would have on residential and commercial neighborhoods in the area, which used to function more like small towns than they do today. Some opponents were appeased by the plan to include the BART rail lines in the middle of the freeway.
