Local know-how
Heading north from Clayton
Clayton is on the north side of Mount Diablo, which puts it closer to the Benicia Bridge than most of Contra Costa.
That makes Sacramento a realistic alternative to the Bay Area airports — about the same time as SFO on a busy morning.
The only regular slowdown is I-680 through Concord at rush hour.
