If you're coming from the south bay, take the 84 exit through livermore from
680, and rejoin 580 just past livermore. Sure, you hit traffic lights and
city streets, but its a shorter route and it avoids the horrible 580/680
interchange.

I've got a good way that avoids I80 altogether, esp if you're coming
from south bay, or there-abouts.
Go east on 580, pick up 205 to I5 to Stockton. Exit I5 at state highway
4 (the freeway exit, just after Charter Way), connect with 99 north.
Continue on 99 past Lodi, Galt, and just before Elk Grove, exit onto
Grant Line Road, head east on Grant Line about 5 miles or so (it
sometimes seems forever), turn left onto Sunrise, north on Sunrise about
5 more miles, left onto Douglas and straight into the site.
Advantages are no bridge tolls, and a stroll back through time along
the old but quick 99, plus among the least expensive gas stations
(Chevron) at the Grantline exit, anyway, much less expensive than most
stations here.
No matter which way you take, the gate is marked with pointer cones.
