Measure M has improved new lanes for motorists on State Route 91 (SR-91) and progress was made on several freeway projects throughout Orange County.

Measure M is funding 14 projects as part of the freeway improvement program. Through the M2020 Plan, the OCTA Board approved expediting delivery of the freeway program with the goal of completing two-thirds of the Measure M freeway program by 2020. Nearly every major Orange County freeway will benefit from Measure M with the addition of new lanes, improved on- and off-ramps, reconfigured interchanges and soundwalls.

New Lanes Opened on SR-91 In March 2013, OCTA and Caltrans opened a new six-mile lane in each direction of SR-91 between State Route 55 (SR-55) and State Route 241 (SR-241). PROJECT J
