Construction Activities

Construction of a Drainage System Continues

Crews are continuing to construct a new drainage system along northbound SR-55 between the McFadden Avenue off-ramp and railroad bridge. As part of this work, daytime concrete pours will occur through the end of January.

Remaining Concrete Barrier at Railroad Bridge Expected to be Demolished Soon

In November 2023, crews partially demolished the concrete barrier along the east side of the SR-55 freeway bridge over the railroad.


Contractors will be returning to complete the barrier demolition from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. nightly, Friday, Jan. 19 through Sunday, Jan. 21 (into Monday morning).

Nightly Closures of

MacArthur On-Ramp to Southbound SR-55

Crews are constructing a retaining wall adjacent to the on-ramp from MacArthur Boulevard to southbound SR-55. This work requires installing temporary shoring and removing the existing retaining wall.

 

The MacArthur on-ramp to SB SR-55 will continue to be closed so crews can safely access the work area.

The on-ramp will continue to be closed weeknights from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. through the end of January.

About the Project

OCTA, in cooperation with Caltrans, is improving 4 miles of SR-55 between I-405 and I-5. The project will improve traffic flow and reduce travel time by adding one regular lane and one carpool lane in each direction. Also, the project will add merge lanes between several interchanges and stripe carpool lanes for continuous access, augmenting safety on the freeway by making merging easier. These enhancements are expected to create a better, smoother driving experience for motorists.
