Yolo Causeway, Highway bridge on Interstate 80 near Sacramento, United States
The Yolo Causeway extends 3.2 miles across the Yolo Bypass floodplain, connecting West Sacramento with Davis through concrete trestles and earth fill segments.
The original Yolo Causeway opened in March 1916 as a two-lane structure measuring 21 feet wide and 16,538 feet long, featuring timber and concrete sections.
The structure bears the name Blecher-Freeman Memorial Causeway to commemorate two California Highway Patrol officers who lost their lives during service.
The causeway accommodates approximately 150,000 vehicles daily across its six lanes, serving as a primary transportation route between Sacramento and Davis.
Each summer, a colony of 250,000 Mexican free-tailed bats establishes residence beneath the causeway, feeding on insects from surrounding wetlands.
