ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. (KNX) — More lanes are on the way to help ease gridlock on the crowded 55 Freeway in Orange County.
Officials broke ground on a multi-million dollar project slated to start in the next few weeks.
As part of the project, construction will add one regular and one carpool lane in both directions between the 405 and 5 freeways.
Caltrans said crews would primarily work overnight, so some drivers might not even notice the construction.
Voters in Orange County passed a half-cent sales tax years ago to help improve transportation.
Nearly $53 million from the tax is helping to fund the new construction.
