In addition, the project will add the 405 Express Lanes, incorporating the existing carpool lanes and a new lane in each direction between SR- 73 and I-605. As OCTA brings those improvements to one of the nation’s busiest freeways, drivers and residents wonder: What’s up with the 405?

Construction of the Heil Street pedestrian overcrossing and the new SR- 73/I- 405 connector bridge is also underway. Public outreach, through virtual neighborhood meetings, continues to be held to discuss construction activities.

FREEWAY SERVICE PATROL Since 1992, the Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) program has assisted stranded motorists on Orange County freeways.
