Anyone know an alternative route to Orange County from Phoenix?
I used the 10, 91 AND 60 going to Phoenix and ran into lots of construction.

Looking for a route with less construction even if the route is longer...

It would be much longer, but you can take I-17 up to I-40, then take the 15 south to get to the OC......

Where was the construction? Your options are limited for major roads. You could take I-5 down the coast to I-8, or start with 91 and hang a right in Corona, then take I-15 to I-8 to SR 85 then north to I-10 OR stay on I-8 to I-10, then back up to Phoenix.

The way I always like to go is 91 to I-15 to I-8, I-8 to Gila Bend and then take US 85 North the stop light at Buckeye then I either take a right turn onto Maricopa 85 to Phoenix or straight ahead to I-10 and then into Phoenix

Don't know about construction on this route as I haven't been to CA for a couple of years.
A word of warning, about I-8 in S. Ca DO NOT DRIVE IT AFTER DARK! MANY COYOTES ARE DRIVING IT AT NIGHT WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS AND MANY TIMES ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE FREEWAY, GOING WEST IN THE EASTBOUND OR EAST IN THE WESTBOUND LANES!
