There’s a section of the Interstate in Orange County, CA, where the 605 transitions
into the 405 as it merges with the 22 (Garden Grove Frwy). There used to be 18
lanes of traffic on that stretch of Hwy, 9 each way. Add to that, are two
major N/S bound Blvd's that intersect that same stretch, each with
8 lanes of traffic. So many are trying to get on, or get off within those couple
of miles
I still remember the challenge it was at times getting all the way over, especially
with the heavy truck traffic from the Port of Long Beach, using it too. If you
have gander with Google, it still may be the same chaotic case. It was always
impressive, that stretch of Hwy. Not just it's expanse, but the "Road
Warrior" feel of it too

And always working on some part of it. Past that mess a few weeks ago

Yeah, that's the real rub when trying to get around nowadays, the perpetual
road work that never seems to get much of anything done. Unfortunately, we've
got our share of those up here in Seattle too, Kevin. The never-ending projects
that take inexplicable years rather than the expected weeks or even months. Years
of tying up the daily commute of thousands.
