Built between 1950 and 1960, Interstate 5 (I-5) lured aerospace firms, millions of residents, and a Magic Kingdom to once-rural Orange County. Travel back in time with a little history and great vintage graphics from kcet.org.
Since the I-5 debuted, many more people have chosen Orange County as their place to live, work and play. As part of Measure M, Orange County’s half-cent sales tax for transportation improvements, OCTA is keeping them on the move in the 21st century with nine projects that will increase capacity and ease congestion along this major freeway. Learn more about those projects here.
