__NOTOC__



ROUTE SUMMARY

Route 118 has two distinguishable sections, connected at the intersection of California State Route 23 :

  • The Western section, which consists mostly of a two-lane highway known as Los Angeles Avenue (Wells Road in Ventura) that cuts through the more rural areas of Ventura County .

  • The Eastern section the main route connecting the cities of Moorpark and Simi Valley to the city of Los Angeles . The 118 has an HOV Lane on the freeway section, starting at the Los Angeles–Ventura County border to Interstate 5 .


A third section, from Route 210 to the unconstructed California State Route 249 , has been planned since 1965 . No plans are in place to complete this portion at this time.


HISTORY


CA-118 used to extend past I-210 on Foothill Blvd. ; however, this segment was decommissioned. Before the freeway was built, the eastern segment used Rinaldi Street. The freeway was built around the late 1960s or early 1970s, and the segment between Balboa Boulevard and Tampa Avenue was one of the last freeway segments to be built in the Los Angeles area. The Porter Ranch Road interchange is relatively new; before it was constructed, that interchange connected to a closed Winnetka Avenue and a Park And Ride lot.
