Davison Freeway. The Davison Freeway was the first urban freeway constructed in the United States and is approximately five and a half miles long. The Davison Freeway was built in 1941 and 1942 and was opened in late 1942. From 1942 up until 1993, it was a county freeway, but in 1993 the freeway was transferred to state control and was named M-8.
In the downtown area, it is the Santa Ana Freeway, mostly constructed between 1946 and 1952. North of the Four Level Interchange, it becomes the Hollywood Freeway, constructed between 1940 and 1958. It still retains quite a few of its original bridges and railing as well. With little exception, the Hollywood Freeway hasnât been widened, making it one of the earliest examples of an eight-lane freeway. North of the 134/170/101 Interchange in the North Hollywood area, the 101 becomes the Ventura Freeway. This freeway competes with the 10 and the 405 for the âBusiest Freewayâ moniker.
