(Redirected from San Gabriel River Freeway)
'Interstate 605' (abbreviated 'I-605', and colloquially referred to as 'The 605' or ''the six-oh-five'') is a major north-south interstate freeway of about 27 miles (43 km) in length located entirely within the Greater Los Angeles Area in Southern California. It is officially known as the 'San Gabriel River Freeway', one of the few Southern California freeways not named after a particular city along its route. The freeway, running from Seal Beach to Irwindale, derives its name from the San Gabriel River that it parallels for most of its alignment.
The southern terminus of the 605 Freeway is at the Los Alamitos Curve Interchange with the San Diego (Interstate 405) and Garden Grove (State Route 22) Freeways in Seal Beach. From there, it runs roughly due north through the Gateway Cities of the Los Angeles Basin. It then shifts north-northeast, crossing the Whittier Narrows and across the San Gabriel Valley. The 605 then ends at its junction with the Foothill Freeway, (Interstate 210) in Duarte, a small city located at the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains.
The 605 follows most of the length of the San Gabriel River from the Los Alamitos Curve Interchange in Seal Beach to the the Santa Fe Dam. Typically dry riverbed and flood basins are visible from many portions of the route, especially near the northern terminus. Also, the freeway features an
