State Route 22 in the U.S. State of California is an east-west highway in southern Los Angeles County and northern Orange County. It runs between Long Beach and Orange by way of Garden Grove. The westernmost part of it is a surface street, Long Beach's 7th Street. From Long Beach to its eastern terminus in Orange, it is known as the Garden Grove Freeway. It is one of the two principal east-west routes in Orange County, California (the other being the Riverside Freeway approximately eight miles (13 km) to the north).

The 22 begins at the intersection of 7th Street and Pacific Coast Highway (State Route 1) in Long Beach. Then, 7th Street widens from an expressway into a freeway just before crossing the San Gabriel River (and with it, the Los Angeles/Orange County line). It then merges with the San Diego Freeway (Interstate 405) at the Interstate 605 interchange and runs concurrently with it for approximately three miles before the two routes diverge in northeastern Seal Beach. Thereafter, the Garden Grove Freeway travels mostly within the city of Garden Grove or along its border with neighboring Westminster. Just inside the Orange city limits, the freeway enters the infamously congested Orange Crush interchange with the Santa Ana and Orange Freeways (Interstate 5 and State Route 57, respectively. It continues along the border of Orange and Santa Ana for three miles (5 km) until terminating at the Costa Mesa Freeway (State Route 55).
History
Opened in the 1967, the Garden Grove Freeway had the distinction of being one of the few freeways in Southern California to never have been widened from its original alignment. This resulted in its suffering from severe rush hour congestion, particularly as Santa Ana's population surged to over 300,000 during the 1990s.
Planned improvement
In late 2004, in response to California's budgetary deficit, OCTA began a widening project to add one mixed-flow and one high occupancy vehicle lane to the route in each direction, as well as to update onramps and offramps to contemporary standards, all funded by Measure M, the half-cent tax of Orange County, CA. This first phase of the project, scheduled to conclude in late 2006, opened May 2007. A later phase to add HOV lane interchanges at the I-605 junction and at the split with I-405 (Los Alamitos Curve) is in the planning stages, but funding has not yet been procured to start this phase.
