57 Freeway

Join the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) at a Public Hearing in an Open House Format to learn more about the proposed project, receive one-on-one updates from project team members, view exhibit boards, and submit your comments on the proposed alternatives. Please visit octa.net/57fwy for additional information.

OCTA and Caltrans are proposing improvements to northbound SR-57 between Orangewood Avenue and Katella Avenue. The Project includes an extension of the 5th general-purpose lane and improvements to freeway ramps to reduce congestion and enhance travel movements. This segment of SR-57 crosses the Santa Ana River and OCTA/SCRRA/BNSF Railroad and is near ARTIC, Angel Stadium and the Honda Center. We’ve prepared an Initial Study/Environmental Assessment (IS/EA), or Draft Environmental Study, that evaluates the project’s potential benefits and effects, and we’d like your input. This document is available for review and comment between October 11 and November 9, 2018
