Freeway to and SF from Sac?

Anyone know how bad the freeway is? I'm supposed to go to the Bay today but last time I drove there the freeway was pretty bad. Anyone know if its lowered G35 friendly yet?

80 west from Sac not bad at all until in Fairfield area.

Stay in middle to slow lanes after Solano Mall (Travis off-ramp). Fast lanes 1 and 2 are still Effed up with bad step up/down transitions where 80 curves there more so than other lanes.

Past that curve your fine, but don't know how the 80 is past the 37 interchange in Vallejo.

I can only comment on the part of 80 between Vacaville and Vallejo: They're still repaving the freeway in Fairfield. The only real bad spot is on the Rockville Road/Texas Street overpass right after the Travis Blvd exit (going east). There's really nothing you can do; all lanes are bad. It's a big bump that is better if you take slow which is possible since everyone tends to slow down for it anyway.

It's bad on the same place going West also. Everything else is fine.

[Edit...haha, got beat by the rest of the FF crew!]

From wb80 Vallejo to the Bay, you will be fine. Not sure if traffic is a concern for you, but I think ppl are still taking their time with the new Bay Bridge S-curve section since it reopened. Again, the road is fine for you.

You'll be going through all of it, but if you go slow through the areas already mentioned you should be fine. What time are you planning on getting to TNT?
