Route description
The Eastern Toll Road begins at the Riverside Freeway (State Route 91) in Eastern Orange County. Signed as Route 241, the tollway travels south, running east of existing developments in Eastern Anaheim, Orange, and Tustin. At Santiago Canyon Road outside of Tustin, it splits into two legs.
The western leg, signed as Route 261, goes through the western side of Irvine. After crossing over Interstate 5 (there are no direct connections to that interstate highway), it ends at Walnut Avenue and Jamboree Road a few miles later.
The eastern leg of the Eastern Toll Road continues signed as Route 241 as it runs towards the eastern side of Irvine. After it intersects with the Foothill Toll Road just outside of Irvine, it becomes signed as Highway 133. Route 133 continues as the eastern leg of the toll road through the east side of Irvine until it intersects with Interstate 5. Afterwards, it becomes the Laguna Freeway.
