is preparing a project study report to identify ways to relieve freeway
congestion along the Santa Ana Freeway (Interstate 5) between the Costa
Mesa Freeway (State Route 55) and the Orange Freeway (State Route 57)
in Santa Ana. The study is looking at ways to increase capacity and
improve traffic flow through this section of Interstate 5 (I-5) that
connects four major freeways in central Orange County. The study is
expected to be completed in early 2009.
