The Route
The freeway runs from the Golden State Freeway in the Sun Valley district of Los Angeles in the San Fernando Valley to the East Los Angeles Interchange east of downtown Los Angeles. Between the Golden State Freeway and its intersection with the Ventura Freeway in the southeastern San Fernando Valley (also known as "The Hollywood Split"), it is signed as California State Highway 170; thereafter, it takes on the more famous designation of U.S. Highway 101.
Notable Features
The intersection of the Hollywood and Harbor Freeways, known as the Four Level Interchange, is one of the major landmarks in Los Angeles and a symbol of the city's post-World War II development.
