The Orange Crush complex is a freeway interchange in Southern California. It is located at the boundary between the cities of Orange and Santa Ana, about 25 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles, California.
The interchange is comprised of five freeway segments (i.e. there are five freeway 'paths' of travel into the complex) of three major highways:
Significant construction funded by Measure M in the early 2000s has greatly improved the efficiency and safety of motorists transiting the interchange. During this reconstruction, most of the transitions were re-aligned and/or widened. Prior to its reconstruction, driving through was challenging and, combined with heavy traffic volume, resulted in frustrating traffic congestion, hence the name "Orange Crush".
