SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — State transportation officials want to install toll lanes on a notoriously congested section of Interstate 405 in Orange County, but local officials aren’t happy.
Caltrans on Friday reserved the right to add 14 miles of toll lanes between Seal Beach and Costa Mesa — where a section of the freeway gets more average daily traffic than any other in the nation — but local transportation officials point out the proposal is unfunded and would take away existing carpool lanes.
