Construction on the $102-million Orange Freeway (State Route 57) Northbound Widening Project will begin this fall as officials, construction workers and business leaders gathered recently to celebrate the kickoff of the Orangethorpe to Lambert segment.
The Orange County Transportation Authority, in partnership with Caltrans, is sponsoring improvements to the SR-57, which will add a northbound lane from north of the SR-91 near Orangethorpe Avenue in Placentia to Lambert Road in Brea.
