Description
The interchange comprises five freeway segments (i.e. there are five freeway 'paths' of travel into the complex). The three freeways that intersect here are I-10 (San Bernardino Freeway), SR 57 (Orange Freeway), and SR 71 (Chino Valley Freeway).
Note, however, there is not complete freedom of movement within the interchange. Traffic flowing into it on the Chino Valley Freeway (SR 71) cannot leave it on all of the others. There is no direct connector between the northwestbound Chino Valley Freeway and the southbound Orange Freeway (SR 57), or the eastbound San Bernardino Freeway (I-10); nor is there a direct connector between the northbound Orange Freeway, or the westbound San Bernardino Freeway, to the southeastbound Chino Valley Freeway. Travelers wanting to make these transitions must use alternate routes. Naturally, travelers from outside the Los Angeles area may not know this and will find this confusing. In any event, this is not a significant negative factor as this segment of the Chino Valley Freeway is not as heavily traveled as the other two freeways.
Occasionally Kellogg Hill is used to describe the interchange; however, most traffic reporters properly describe Kellogg Hill as the actual hill that the San Bernardino Freeway climbs between West Covina and the Kellogg Interchange. This hill is often backed up due to slow trucks, especially on the westbound side where there is no additional truck lane. The crest of the hill is near the Via Verde onramp in San Dimas.

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“I fancy it must be the quantity of animal food eaten by the English which renders their character insusceptible of civilisation. I suspect it is in their kitchens and not in their churches that their reformation must be worked, and that Missionaries of that description from [France] would avail more than those who should endeavor to tame them by precepts of religion or philosophy.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“He hath achieved a maid
That paragons description and wild fame;
One that excels the quirks of blazoning pens.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“God damnit, why must all those journalists be such sticklers for detail? Why, they’d hold you to an accurate description of the first time you ever made love, expecting you to remember the color of the room and the shape of the windows.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
