Summary

[edit]
Description
English: State Route 2 (SR 2) is a state highway in the U.S. state of California. It runs from the junction of Lincoln Boulevard and Interstate 10 in Santa Monica to SR 138 east of Wrightwood. The highway currently is divided into three segments, running briefly concurrent with U.S. Route 101 (US 101) and Interstate 210 (I-210) to connect the segments. The western section of the highway is an old routing of U.S. Route 66; the eastern portion is known as the Angeles Crest Highway.

From US 101, Route 2 heads northeast on Alvarado Street through the culturally vivid community of Echo Park. The route then turns north onto Glendale Boulevard, which is frequently congested, especially after games and events at Dodger Stadium. The route then branches northeast onto the Glendale Freeway, a north–south route. The Glendale Freeway runs near the communities of Glassell Park and Eagle Rock. After its interchange with SR 134, the route follows a mountain ridge through a valley as it flanks the east side of Glendale. The freeway ends at Foothill Boulevard in La Cañada Flintridge; just before reaching Foothill Boulevard, SR 2 turns off the Glendale Freeway onto the eastbound Foothill Freeway (Interstate 210) for a short while until reaching the Angeles Crest Highway exit. The Glendale Freeway was originally proposed to continue though Echo Park all the way to U.S. Route 101, but since the plans are now scrapped, the freeway is relatively isolated from the rest of the freeway system. The freeway is also very wide at 5 lanes per direction.
