What is the shortest route from Sacramento CA to Cape Coral FL?

Answer 1

1. Take I-5 SOUTH to I-10 EAST to INDIO via 210 EAST. [EXIT 161A off I-5 (GOLDEN STATE FWY) to get onto 210 EAST; EXIT 85A off 210 to get onto I-10 EAST towards INDIO.]
2. Take I-10 EAST all the way across the country to I-75 SOUTH to TAMPA at EXIT 296A near Lake City, FLORIDA. On I-10 there are several bypasses that you will take: to bypass Phoenix, take the PHOENIX BYPASS ROUTE. More specifically you will use AZ-85 and I-8. {EXIT 112 off I-10 in ARIZONA; then follow AZ-85 SOUTH to I-8 WEST in Gila Bend, then take I-8 WEST back to I-10 EAST to TUCSON at EXIT 178A.} To bypass San Antonio, either take I-410 (recommended) (EXIT 564 off I-10 in TEXAS, to get onto I-410, then I-410 EAST and, eventually, SOUTH back to I-10 EAST to HOUSTON at EXIT 33) or FM-1604 (Anderson Loop) (alternative). [EXIT 556A off I-10 in TEXAS to get onto FM-1604 (Anderson Loop), then FM-1604 (Anderson Loop) EAST around San Antonio back to I-10 EAST.] To bypass New Orleans, take I-12 EAST. (EXIT 169 off I-10 in Baton Rouge, LOUISIANA, then I-12 EAST back to I-10 EAST to BAY St. Louis at EXIT 85C.)
3. Take I-75 SOUTH to Cape Coral.
