Construction Terms
falsework: Temporary scafl'olding erected to hold farina for poured concrete. Erection of falsework may require a
nightlime freeway closure. Once concrete has been poured and cured, the falsework can be removed, again at night.
gawk screens: l'articleLx~'~rd screens ma, hied on K-rail that temporarily block motorist' view of construction activity.
Gawk screens prevent rubber-necking, a major cause of accidenls and freeway snarls.
K-rail: Temporary concrete barriers that separate traffic from conslruction activities.
righl-of-way~ A strip of land acquired by Caltrans for our roads. The land over which a roadway or transitway passes,
or which stalions, parking and other support facJlilJes are sllualed.
Road Terms
arterial streets: Major avenues and boulevards primarily designed to carry through traffic.
au~illar), lanes: Auxiliary lanes are placed between two con~cutive interchanges to accommodate vehicles enterin8
and exiting the freeway.
Changeable message signs (CMS): A large panel mounted over the freeway that can be computer programmed to
display various messages concerning traffic conditions.
Cmnmuler or liOV lanes: Commuter lanes are reserved high-occupancy vehicle lanes constructed in the medians of
existing freeways. Use of these lanes is restricted to multi-occupant vehicles, including buses, carpools and vanpools.
Commuter lanes are generally located next to the median barrier and are separated from adjacent general purpose
freeway lanes by a painted, variable width buffer. Vehicles e~ter and exit commuter lanes at designated locations along
tile freeway.
llishway Advisory Radio (liAR): A short band radio frequency (also referred to as CaiRadio 530 AM) that i~rovides
real-time announcements of accidents and delay~. Motorists can also obtain up-to-date construction zone achvity
reports that will help them decide commutin8 option~. Motorists should tune their radios to CalRadio 530 AM when
approaching construction zones.
high occupancy vehicle (ilOV): A motor vehicle carrying two or more passengers, a bus, carpool or vanpool. '~IOV"
sometimes refers to all clas~es of multi-occupant vehicles including buses, carpools and vanpools.
mixed flow lanes: Lanes in which ali vehicle~ are permitted to operate regard]ess of the number of occupants or type of
vehicle. Sometimes referred to as general purpme lanes.
peak houri The hour during which the greatest volume of traffic occurs. There is an AM and a PM peak hour. "Peak
perinds" or "rush hours" are those several consecutive hours when the traffic volume is greatest, generally between 6
AM and 9 AM, and again between 3 PM and 6 PM.
ramp metering: A syslem tn which the flow of vehicles onto a freeway from a ramp is metered by a traffic signal.
real-time~ Literally, what is occurring this instant. The Highway Advisory Radio system, CaiRadio 530 AM, will
provide real-time traffic information during peak periods such as reports on accidents and areas of congestion which is
of immediale concern to commuters.
transltways: High-occupancy vehicle lanes separated from other freeway lane~ by concrete barriers. Transitways are
primarily constructed in freeway rights-of-way. Use is restricted to multi-occupant vehicles, including buses, carpools,
and vanp(x)ls. Transltways run in each direction along a freeway and have their own emergency shoulders or "break-
down" lanes. Access to tl~e transitway occurs at a limited number of well designed median openings along the length
of tile transiiway. Connecling ramps provide exclusive access between the transitways and commuter lanes on inter-
s(.'cting freeways, and between the transitway and selected streets serving major employment centers.
I-5: Interstate 5 Freeway or Santa Aaa Freeway.
5R.55: Slate Route 55 or Costa Me~ Freeway.

Project: I-5/SR-55 (Santa Ana and Costa Mesa Freeways) Interchange Reconstruction - Summary
Project Location: I-5 and SR-55 Interchange. Construction area extends along the 55 between Santa Clara
Avenue and Dyer Road.
Project Description: The I-5/SR-55 Freeway Interchange will be reconstructed in three stages.
Stage I: Widening of the 55 Freeway between the interchange and Dyer Road to prepare for construction of
fly-over ramps to the I-$5.
Funding Agency: Caltrans
Project Cost: $19.3 million
Contractor: Steve P. Rados, Inc.
Start of Construction: October 1987
Completion: Stage I completion, Late Summer 1989
Stage II: Widening of the 55 Freeway north of the interchange to 17th Street, as well as widening portions of
the 5 Freeway between Red Hill Avenue and 4th Street.
Funding Agency: Caltrans
Project Cost Estimate: $45 million
Start of Construction: Early 1990
Completion: Early 1992
Stage III: Construction of fly-over ramps, transitways and soundwalls. Construction will be completed in
mid-1994.
Funding Agency: Caltrans and OCTD
Project Cost Estimate: $86.4 million
Tentative Construction Start Date: Mid-1991
Tentative Construction End Date: Mid-1994
Why the project is being built: Reconstruction of the I-5/SR-55 Interchange represents a major engineering
challenge. Caltrans is reconstructing the interchange in three stages over a five year period to insure that
traffic continues to move safely through the area with minimal delays for motorists and disruptions to
nearby communities. Right-of-way acquisitions have been held to a bare minimum. Upon completion, the
new interchange will provide a safer and smoother transition between two major Orange County freeways.
Traffic Mitigation Measures: The I-5 and SR-55 will remain open du~ing daylight hours. Nighttime closures
0.2am-Sam) will be necessary occasionally for bridge demolition as well as erection and removal of bridge
falsework. During closures, traffic will be re-routed on to local streets. Concrete "K-rail" barriers and gawk
screens will be installed to separate freeway lanes from construction activities.
Long Term Traffic Mitigation Measures: Caltrans is working closely with the Orange County Transit Dis-
trict's Commuter Network to promote ridesharing and the use of vanpools and public transit to remove five
percent of traffic from the I-5 freeway during peak hours. Residents living near construction areas are
encouraged to use local surface streets rather than the freeway.
Caltrans will sponsor a roving tow truck service to quickly remove stalled vehicles and minor accidents
in the construction zone. Caltrans, in cooperation with the California Highway Patrol, will sponsor CalRadio
530 AM, a highway advisory network that will broadcast regular construction updates and real-time traffic
reports.

Project: Tustin Ranch Road/I-5 (Santa Ana Freeway) Interchange
Project Location: Tustin Ranch Road at the I-5 between Red Hill and Jamboree.
Project Description: A new six lane bridge overcrossing and partial cloverleaf interchange will be built to
accommodate the widening of the I-$ Freeway. Current plans include acquisition of right-of-way for con-
struction of a transitway.
Funding Agency: Caltrans and city of Tustin
Project Cost Estimation: $12 million
Contractor: To be determined
Start of Construction: Late 1989
Completion: Late 1991
Why the project is being built: Currently, only Red Hill and Newport Blvd. cross the I-5 within the city
limits of Tustin and traffic from existing residential, industrial and commercial areas have overburdened
interchanges at Myford Road (Jamboree Road) and Red Hill Ave. This new overcrossing and interchange
will provide additional capacity for the area. The Tustin Ranch Road overcrossing will also provide an
important link between arterials running parallel to I-$ on the south side, such as Irvine Center Drive and
Walnut Ave., and streets on the north side, such as Bryan Ave. and Irvine BlVd.
Traffic Mitigation Measures: The I-5 will remain open freeway during peak hours. Concrete "K-rail"
barriers will be placed along the construction site, and I-$ lanes will be restriped and narrowed slightly to
allow construction. Early morning (12am-Sam) freeway closures can be expected when overpass falsework
is constructed and later when it is removed.
Long Term Traffic Mitigation Measures: Caltrans is working dosely with the Orange County Transit Dis-
trict's Commuter Network to promote ridesharing and the use of vanpools and public transit to remove five
percent of traffic from the I-5 Freeway during peak hours. Residents living near construction areas are en-
couraged to use local surface streets rather than the freeway.

Project: Jamboree Road/I-5 (Santa Ana Freeway) Interchange
Project Location:Jamboree Road (Formerly Myford Road), at the I-5 between Culver Drive and Tustin
Ranch Road.
Project Description: The Myford Road interchange and undercrossing will be renamed Jamboree Road. The
existing undercrossing will be realigned and widened from four to six lanes. The grade at the undercrossing
will be flattened, providing drivers with a greater line of sight. The interchange will be reconstructed as a
partial cloverleaf.
Funding Agency: Caltrans, city of Tustin, city of Irvine
Project Cost: $13 million
Contractor: Steve P. Rados, Inc.
Start of Construction: Early 1989
Completion: Early 1991
Why the project is being built: Myford Road was built in 1956 to rural standards. The I-5 widening and a
shift in land use from agricultural to residential, commercial and industrial use requires interchange and
undercrossing reconstruction to accommodate present and future demand.
Traffic Mitigation Measures: Concrete "K-rail" barriers have been installed to separate traffic from con-
struction activity. Freeway and ramp closures will not be permitted during peak traffic hours. Early morning
ramp and road closures (12am-Sam) will be necessary to erect and remove underpass falsework.
Long Term Traffic Mitigation Measures: Caltrans is working closely with the Orange County Transit Dis-
trict's Commuter Network to promote ridesharing and the use of vanpools and public transit to remove five
percent of traffic from the I-5 Freeway during peak hours. Residents living near construction areas are en-
couraged to use local surface streets rather than the freeway.

Project: Jeffrey Road/l-5 (Santa Ana Freeway) Interchange
Project Location:Jeffrey Road at at the I-5 between Sand Canyon Road and Culver Drive.
Project Description: The existing two lane:bridge will be replaced with a longer, realigned four lane struc-
ture to accommodate the I-5 widening. The northbound on- and offramps will be reconstructed as a partial
cloverleaf interchange. Southbound on- and offramps will be reconstructed later during the actual I-5 wid-
ening.
Funding Agency: Caltrans and city of Irvine
Project Cost: $10 million
Contractor: To be determined
Start of Construction: Mid 1989
Completion: Late 1990
Why the project is being built: The existing overcrossing is a narrow and low capacity bridge. The new
structure will be a longer, safer four lane structure that will add capacity and eliminate the bottleneck
created by the narrowing of Jeffrey from four lanes to two lanes over the bridge. The new partial cloverleaf
interchange will provide safer access to the freeway.
Traffic Mitigation Measures: Two traffic lanes will remain open on the overcrossing during construction.
Early morning (12am-Sam) freeway closures will be necessary to erect and remove bridge falsework. Local
residents will be encouraged to use alternate routes, such as Sand Canyon, Yale and Culver Drive to cross
the freeway and local surface streets rather than the freeway.
Long Term Traffic Mitigation Measures: Caltran,s is working closely with the Orange County Transit Dis-
trict's Commuter Network to promote ridesharingand the use of vanpools and public transit to remove five
percent of traffic from the I-5 Freeway during peak hours. Residents living near construction areas are
encouraged to use local surface streets rather than the freeway.

Project: Barranca Parkway/l-5 (Santa Ana Freeway) Overcrossing
Project Location: Barranca Parkway at the I-$ between Alton Parkway and the I-5/SR-133 (Laguna Freeway)
Interchange.
Project Description: A new six lane overcrossing will be built to accommodate the 1-5 widening and future
construction of northbound High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) onramps and southbound HOV offramps.
Funding Agency: city of Irvine
Project Cost: $3.84 million
Contractor: To be determined
Start of Construction: Late 1989
Completion: Late 1990
Why the project is being built: The addition of the new Barranca overcrossing will open a major east/west
arterial traversing the entire Irvine Spectrum business complex. The completed overcrossing will provide
additional capacity for the area and relieve congestion on Alton Parkway and Bake Avenue.
Traffic Mitigation Measures: Local arterial traffic will not be affected since Barranca Parkway currently does
not extend to the I-5 Freeway. Freeway closures will be limited to early mornings (12am-Sam) to erect and
remove bridge falsework.
Long Term Traffic Mitigation Measures: Caltrans is working closely with the Orange County Transit Dis-
trict's Commuter Network topromote ridesharingand the use of vanpools and public transit to remove five
percent of traffic from the I-5 Freeway during peak hours. Residents living near construction areas are

tion.
Funding Agency: Caltrans
Project Cost Estimate: $37 million
Tentative Construction Start Date: Late 1989
Tentative Construction Completion: Late 1992
Why the project is being built: Extension of the Costa Mesa Freeway will provide a vital link between
central Orange County and beach communities and help relieve congestion on Newport Blvd. Construc-
tion of the overcrossings will also provide better traffic flows east/west in the city of Costa Mesa.
Traffic Mitigation Measures: All lanes on Newport Blvd. will remain open during construction. Periodi-
cally, traffic will be re-routed during construction of overcrossings.
Long Term Traffic Mitigation Measures: Caltrans is working closely with the Orange Cou.nty Transit Dis-
trict's Commuter Network to promote rtdesharing and the use of vanpools and public transit.
