Orange Crush interchange
The Orange Crush interchange, is a freeway interchange in the City of Orange, in Orange County, California. The interchange is located three miles northwest of Downtown Santa Ana, California.
The interchange is comprised of five freeway segments (i.e. there are five freeway 'paths' of travel into the complex) of three major highways:
- Santa Ana Freeway - I-5
- Garden Grove Freeway - SR 22
- Orange Freeway - south end of SR 57
Significant construction funded by Measure M in the early 2000s has greatly improved the efficiency and safety of motorists transiting the interchange. During this reconstruction, most of the transitions were re-aligned and/or widened. Prior to its reconstruction, driving through was challenging and, combined with heavy traffic volume, resulted in frustrating traffic congestion, hence the name "Orange Crush".
