Status of Tollways

The three tollways that would run through eastern and southern Orange County will cost more than $2 billion, and all should be open by the year 2000. Tolls will vary by vehicle. Here’s where each project stands now: * Eastern Transportation Corridor: Neither grading nor construction work has begun. * Foothill Transportation Corridor: A 3-mile stretch of the road near Lake Forest is set to open later this year. A second stretch is scheduled to open in 1995. * San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor: Some grading for the roadway has already been completed, and full construction is set to begin soon.
