How Is Ortega Working for You?

Guess how long it took to travel from Rancho Viejo Road across the bridge? Come on, guess!

The Ortega Highway bridge over the Interstate 5 may still be intact, but the striping reflects the post-demolition configuration.

San Juan Capistrano Patch set the stopwatch at about 4:30 p.m. Monday to see how long it would take to get westbound from stopped traffic east of Rancho Viejo Road across the bridge.

It took so long, we were able to write this article on our new phone app! For the record, that was 11 minutes and 13 seconds.
