State Route 57 ( SRÃ, 57 ), also known as Orange Freeway for most of the length, is the north-south state highway in Greater Los Angeles Area of âââ ⬠<â ⬠A precursor to this road ran through Brea Canyon in the early 20th century and added to the state highway system. Freeways were built gradually during the 1950s, one of which included the Brea Canyon Freeway; SRÃ, 57 was designated as part of the re-loading of state highway 1964. The last part of Orange Freeway is not currently completed until the mid-1970s.

Route description
SRÃ, 57 begins at the Orange Crush intersection near downtown Orange, where he meets the Santa Ana Freeway in the northwest-southeast (I-5) and East Garden Grove Freeway (SR 22). Orange Citrus Exchange, which has long been considered a major congestion, was rebuilt in the 1990s and 2000s. The highway leads north from the intersection and immediately cross to the west side of the Santa Ana River, continue north through the suburbs of Anaheim and passes next to Anaheim Regional Transport Interchange Center, Angel Stadium and Honda Center. In northern Anaheim, SR 57 meets the Riverside freeway (SR 91). SRÃ, 57 briefly passes Placentia and Fullerton, providing access to California State University, Fullerton, and The Bruery. When crossing the Imperial Highway (SR 90) near Brea Mall and into Brea, SR 57 enters rougher terrain before climbing through Brea Canyon, the gap between Chino Hills and Puente Hills. Near the edge of the canyon, the curved road heads north out of Brea Canyon, and descends slightly to the intersection with Pomona Freeway (SR 60) at the Diamond Bar, right on the edge of the San Gabriel Valley.
A short overlap carries SRÃ, 57 traffic on the same road as SR 60. Both routes lead to the northeast through the San Gabriel Valley arm; after they parted company, SRÃ, 57 up slightly and then down through the edge of Puente Hills and to the western end of the Pomona Valley. Here he meets Freeway San Bernardino (I-10) and Chino Valley Freeway (SR 71) at Simpang Empat Kellogg Hill. In the northern half of the intersection, SRÃ, 57 enters the San Jose Hills, rising to the highest altitude before descending back to San Gabriel and connected Pomona Valleys and ending at the Glendora Curve intersection with Foothill Freeway (I-210) at Glendora.
The high-occupancy vehicle line (HOV) is on the median SR 57 south of SR 60 at the Diamond Bar. The elevated ridges allow HOV traffic to be bound to or from Brea Canyon to connect with I-5 to the southeast, SR 91 to the west, or SR 60 to the east without entering the main lane.
SRÃ, 57 is legally eligible for the State Scenic Highway System through Brea Canyon, between SR 90 and SR 60, although it has not been officially designated as a beautiful highway by the California Department of Transportation. The entire route is on the California Freeway and Expressway System, and is a highway for its entire length. SRÃ, 57 is also part of the National Highway System (NHS), an important highway network for economic, defense, and state mobility. The highway from SR 1 to SR 60 at Diamond Bar is officially designated as Orange Freeway. In 2013, SRÃ, 57 has an average daily traffic daily (AADT) of 129,000 between SR 60 and Sunset Crossing Road at Diamond Bar, and 278,500 between SR91 in Anaheim and Orangethorpe Avenue in Placentia, the latter being the highest AADT for highways.

History
The road through Brea Canyon dirtied dirt in the late 1910s, providing a good connection across an offshoot of the Peninsular Mountains between the Los Angeles Basin and Pomona Valley. This road leaves the coastal highway (Harbor Boulevard) in Fullerton and follows Brea Boulevard and Brea Canyon Road at this time, joins the Boulevard Valley from Los Angeles near Walnut and continues east toward Pomona via Valley and Pomona Boulevards. Los Angeles County paved the way in the concrete in early 1923, and in 1931 it was added to the state highway system as a branch of Route 19. Until then, Route 19 has connected Route 9 near Claremont with Riverside, following Garey Avenue and Mission Boulevard via Pomona.
The state built a shortcut of the Boulevard Valley from the route in the early to mid 1930s, leaving the old road near the Diamond Bar and heading northeast through the foothills, along the current highway alignment and Mission Boulevard. To the south, the legislature added an unrelated Route 180 at State College Boulevard in 1933, connecting Route 2 (I-5) near the Santa Ana River to Route 175 (Orangethorpe Avenue, then replaced by SR 91) near Placentia. In 1955, Brea Canyon Freeway was proposed to begin at Santa Ana Freeway (I-5) near La Veta Avenue in Santa Ana and head north, aligning Routes 180 and 19 to Pomona. The northeastern part of Diamond Bar to Pomona soon became part of the planned Pomona Freeway, and the rest of the name was changed to Orange Freeway. The state legislature changed the definition of Route 19 to reflect this in 1957 by moving the southern end to Santa Ana.
Then, in 1957, the northernmost portion of the SR 57 was present added to the state highway system as part of Route 240, established by the legislature along the planned route for I-210. It became part of the proposed Temescal Freeway, then Corona Freeway; The southern extension of the Orange Freeway to the Legislative Route 60 (SR 1) near Huntington Beach was added in 1959 as Route 273. Also in 1959, the legislature created Route 272, expanding the Orange Road Highway line from Pomona Freeway to Temescal Freeway, completing the road corridor the proposed current toll is SR 57. When all routes, except Route 240 which is still part of I-210, redesigned SR 57 on the re-establishment of 1964, none of the proposed toll roads has been constructed; the only segment built is the old surface road from Fullerton to Pomona. The old Routes section 19 east of Route 272 became part of SR 60. As part of the same numbering, Route 180 at State College Boulevard became Route 250, which was changed the following year to provide the removal of once part of the SR. 57 toll roads completed (between I-5 and SR 91).
The groundbreaking ceremony was held in Placentia on January 30, 1967, to begin construction of the Orange Freeway. The first section was dedicated on May 16, 1969, and soon opened after that, stretching north from Riverside Freeway (SR 91) to Nutwood Avenue in Fullerton. Over the next few years, the highway was completed from SR 91 north to I-10, and I-210 was built north to the end of current SR 57; Pomona Freeway (SR 60), which overlaps through the Diamond Bar, is built at the same time. The last part of the passage is the highway through Brea Canyon, which opened March 13, 1972, and the four-story Kellogg Hill Exchange on I-10, dedicated May 1, 1972, and was soon opened shortly thereafter. Finally, Orange Freeway expanded southwards from SRÃ, 91 to I-5 in the mid-1970s, allowing Route 250 to be transferred to local authorities, although the subsequent removal of the Streets and Highways Code did not last until 1981. With the extension of SR 210 around San Bernardino in 1998, the eastern part of I-210 to Kellogg Hill Interchange instead became the northern extension of SR 57, though it remained officially part of the Interstate Highway System.
Future
The southern extension to Huntington Beach remains unstructured. In 1986, the Orange County plan was for an elevated highway above the Santa Ana River rather than through the existing neighborhood, stretching southward to the San Diego Freeway (I-405) in Costa Mesa with connections to the Corona del Mar Freeway (SR 73 ); this is largely inspired by the congestion on SR 55 through the Santa Ana area. The extension is considered by Caltrans as two 11.2 miles (18.0 km), two bridge lanes that would cost $ 950 million. The toll franchise developed by American Transportation Development (ATD) for this section of SR 57 expired in January 2001, after the request to postpone ended until January 2007. After this, ATD sued to restore the franchise, and the case lasted until November 2003. The termination is because ATD did not start construction during the first ten years of the franchise, after which it has been authorized by the state legislature.
In April 2009, the Orange County Transport Authority continued to study the expansion of SR 57, where the highway would travel along the Santa Ana River and end at I-405 in the Fountain Valley.
Exit list
Except where it begins with letters, postmiles are measured on the street as in 1964, based on the existing harmony at the time, and do not necessarily reflect the current mileage. R reflects the alignment in the route since then, M denotes a second rearrangement, L refers to overlap due to correction or change, and T denotes postmiles are classified as temporary (for a complete list of prefixes, see postmil definition list). Segments that remain unconstructed or have been released to local controls can be removed. The numbers are reset at the county line; the initial and final posts in each county are given in the county column.
