This work may be loud. The schedule is subject to change due to inclement weather or unforeseen operational issues.

Last week, crews successfully installed precast girders on the east side of the bridge over the railroad. This activity required tremendous effort and coordination between contractors, construction management teams, Caltrans, Metrolink, and other external subcontractors. We thank and appreciate the public for allowing crews to complete the work safely.

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.
