SR-91/SR-55 Interchange 1

_MG_0463.jpg

This photo is part of a series of long-exposure photos of freeway interchanges. The goal of this series is to show the beauty of the engineering marvel that is the Interstate Highway System, while also making apparent the scars created on our landscape in service of our car culture.

Pictured is the interchange between SR-91 and SR-55 in Anaheim, CA. This interchange is one of the most poorly designed in Orange County. In the 1990s, Caltrans rebuilt this interchange to accommodate toll roads along SR-91 between this interchange and Riverside County to the east. The added complexity made this interchange a nightmare to drive through and has made traffic in the area significantly more congested.
