Features

Richmond features a Chemso oil depot, an HMS Machinery depot, and a viewpoint in Point Richmond, shown as part of Oakland, and a toll gate on westbound Interstate 580.

Connections

• The IS80 runs to Oakland and San Francisco to the southwest and Vallejo and Sacramento to the northeast.
• The IS580 runs towards Ukiah and Eureka (via the USCA101) to the northwest and Oakland to the southeast, concurrent with I-80.
• Richmond Parkway runs from I-580 to I-80 in Crockett to the northeast.

History

• In the initial version of American Truck Simulator, Richmond was only accessed by Interstate 580 and featured a Gallon Oil refinery and an HMS depot, shown as part of San Rafael, and a toll gate on westbound Interstate 580 with a rest area for eastbound traffic. Interstate 580 terminated at an at-grade three-way junction with SR 4 just southeast of Richmond.

• In update 1.5, as part of the 1:35 to 1:20 map rescale, Interstate 80 through Richmond and its half-trumpet interchange with Interstate 580 were added. SR 4 was rebuilt and its diamond interchanges with Interstate 80 and Interstate 580 were added.

• In update 1.44, as part of the second phase of the California rework, Richmond was completely reworked. Richmond Parkway was added, and SR 4 through Richmond and its diamond interchanges with Interstate 80 and Interstate 580 were removed. The Gallon Oil refinery was replaced by a Chemso oil depot, and the rest area by the toll gate was removed.

• In update 1.46, a viewpoint was added near the HMS Machinery depot.
