Santa Ana Freeway
The
Santa Ana Freeway
is the name of a segment of
Interstate 5
(I-5) between
Los Angeles, California
and its southeastern suburbs. This named segment begins at the
East Los Angeles Interchange
complex located about one mile east of downtown Los Angeles. Its alignment is generally northwest to southeast towards its junction with the
San Diego Freeway
,
Interstate 405
(I-405) (informally referred to as the
El Toro Y
), in
Irvine
. North of the
East Los Angeles Interchange
complex, Interstate 5's name changes to the
Golden State Freeway
. South of its junction with the I-405, its name changes to the
San Diego Freeway
. (Interstate 405 ends at this junction.) An abundance of landmarks (
Disneyland
,
Anaheim Stadium
, and the
John Wayne Airport
) along the Orange County portion of its route combines with a severe bottleneck beginning at the Los Angeles County border (shrinking from 12 to 6 lanes) to make it one of the most congested freeways in
Southern California
. The infamously busy intersection of the Santa Ana,
Garden Grove
, and
Orange
freeways in southwestern
Orange
is nicknamed the
Orange Crush
.
