North Spring Street Viaduct Widening and Rehabilitation
Project Description: The North Spring Street Bridge Rehabilitation and Widening Project is located in the City of Los Angeles (Los Angeles County), northeast of downtown. The project improves the viaduct and a portion of North Spring Street between Baker Street to the southwest and Avenue 18 to the northeast. Within the limits of the project, North Spring Street is designated as a class II major highway and is striped throughout most of the proposed project’s reach for four-lane (two in each direction) vehicular use. The project will seismically retrofit and widen the North Spring Street viaduct by 23 feet on the south side to accommodate sufficient travel lanes, a striped median, shoulders, and sidewalks on both sides of the bridge. The shoulder can accommodate bicyclists and is planned to become a bike lane as part of the approved 2010 Los Angeles Bicycle Plan.

Devil’s Slide
Project Description: The project calls for construction of two tunnels beneath San Pedro Mountain, each 30-feet wide and 4,200-feet long. At the northern end, a 1,000-feet bridge will span the valley at Shamrock Ranch. A re-alignment of Route 1 at the southern end will provide safe transition into and out of the tunnel. Approximately one-quarter mile south of the tunnel is the site of an operations and maintenance facility.
