Use Exit 3 to Grand Avenue, which serves downtown Los Angeles. U.S. 101 continues west through the below-grade Downtown Slot. Photo taken 11/08/08.

Northbound U.S. 101/Santa Ana Freeway (Downtown Slot) reaches Exit 2C, Spring Street. Yes, the gore point signage for Exit 2C really is that small, and the right turn is really that sharp! Photo taken 06/28/06.

The next exit along northbound U.S. 101 (and the final exit of the Santa Ana Freeway) is Exit 3, Junction California 110 (Harbor Freeway south and Pasadena Freeway north) at the famous four-level interchange, with a supplemental ramp to Grand Avenue. Photo taken 11/08/08.

The right two lanes of U.S. 101 become exit only for Exit 3, Junction Interstate 110 south and California 110 north. California 110 is a major north-south corridor connecting the Port of Los Angeles and San Pedro with the city of Pasadena. The route follows the Harbor Freeway from the port area north to the Four Level Interchange, then transitions directly onto the Pasadena Freeway on its way to Pasadena. The portion northeast of Interstate 5 is part of the historic Arroyo Seco Parkway, which was one of the first freeways built in Los Angeles. Originally designated as part of U.S. 66, the parkway was known as California 11 until it designation was changed to California 110 for consistency with the setion of the Harbor Freeway south of Interstate 10 designated as Interstate 110; these signs indicate that the Harbor Freeway between U.S. 101 and Interstate 10 are also part of Interstate 110. Photos taken 11/08/08 and 12/23/01.

Use Grand Avenue southwest to the Cathedral of Our Lady of Angels. This sign is somewhat confusing, since it is implied that "next exit" refers to Grand Avenue and not California 110 north or Interstate 110 south. Photo taken 11/08/08.

Northbound U.S. 101/Santa Ana Freeway reaches Exit 3, Junction California 110/Pasadena Freeway north and Interstate 110/Harbor Freeway south. This exit is the famous Four-Level interchange, which was the first symmetrical stack interchange constructed in Southern California (opened in 1954; under construction for a few years prior to then). Even with its advanced design, the Four Level Interchange has frequent congestion. This major interchange connects the Santa Ana Freeway with the Hollywood, Pasadena, and Harbor Freeways. The Santa Ana Freeway ends here; northbound U.S. 101 continues north along the Hollywood Freeway. For more photos, see the Interstate 110 and California 110 page. Photo taken 11/08/08 and 11/25/04.

Now on the transition ramp from U.S. 101 north to California 110 north and Interstate 110 is this offramp to Grand Avenue to downtown Los Angeles. The two left lanes continue to connect to California 110 and Interstate 110. Photo taken 11/08/08.

After the Grand Avenue offramp, the transition ramp itself splits. The left two lanes connect to Interstate (California) 110/Harbor Freeway south, while the right lane connects to California 110/Pasadena Freeway (to Historic U.S. 66/Arroyo Seco Parkway) northeast. Photo taken 11/25/04.

Returning to the mainline, U.S. 101 forms the top level of the storied Four-Level Interchange. A small bridge identification sign is posted on top of the symmetrical stack interchange. At this point (upon crossing over Interstate 110 and California 110), U.S. 101 shifts from the Santa Ana Freeway to the Hollywood Freeway. Photo taken 06/28/06.

U.S. 101/Hollywood Freeway north



Now past the Four-Level Interchange, U.S. 101 continues its journey toward Hollywood along the Hollywood Freeway. This mileage sign located along northbound U.S. 101 indicates the next three exits: Exit 4A, Glendale Avenue; Exit 4B, Junction California 2 East; and Exit 5A, Rampart Boulevard. Photo taken 06/28/06.

In spite of the exit number posted on this sign, Glendale Avenue/Echo Park Avenue is Exit 4A. Echo Park, a community northwest of downtown Los Angeles, features its namesake park and Echo Lake. The park is a patch of green space amidst the urban surroundings. Photo taken 12/23/04.

The next exit along northbound U.S. 101/Hollywood Freeway is Exit 4B, Junction California 2/Alvarado Avenue. The state route proceeds northeast from this interchange into the Echo Park community of Los Angeles. California 2 is a significant east-west state route that begins in Santa Monica, travels through western and central Los Angeles (with brief passages through Beverly Hills and West Hollywood), merges briefly with U.S. 101, then proceeds northeast toward Glendale. North of Interstate 210, California 2 becomes the Angeles Crest Highway for the trip through Angeles National Forest before ending at California 138. Check for local conditions before making the trip along the Angeles Crest Highway segment due to weather and rockslide concerns. Photo taken 06/28/06.

Northbound U.S. 101/Hollywood Freeway reaches Exit 4B, Junction California 2 east and Alvarado Avenue. California 2 west now merges onto the U.S. 101 freeway for a couple miles, then resumes its westerly course via Santa Monica Boulevard. There were plans at one time to extend California 2 through Echo Park as a freeway, but those plans have been shelved indefinitely and likely dead. Photo taken 12/23/04.
