280 South in San Francisco and San Mateo Counties

This is the start of I280 South in San Francisco in July 1988, about 15 months before the Loma Prieta quake damaged this general area of 280. 280 started at this point, but pavement snaked its way farther north unopened. I'm keeping these first two old photos for historic value.
