Freeway contains 35 images including two vellum end sheets and the back cover, in an 8 1/2×11 format of 40 pages. The images are largely taken from 4×5 black-and-white negatives shot from 1948 to 1952 during the period of construction. The front vellum reproduces the proposed Hollywood freeway in 1944 and the back vellum is a 35 mm Kodachrome taken by Dick in 1958.

There is an editor’s preface, a foreword by Richard C. Miller and an Introduction by Judith Freeman.
