If you travel
I-10 in Baldwin Park, there are a couple of long-term ramp closures coming up that we’d like you to know about:
Eastbound I-10
Sunday, May 20,
through Wednesday, May 30 - Baldwin Park Boulevard off-ramp
Westbound I-10
Thursday, May 24
through Saturday, September 1 – Frazier Street on-ramp
As is true of
any freeway project, closures are subject to change.
And now some
good news! The westbound Baldwin Park Boulevard South on-ramp to I-10, previously
closed for construction, will open Thursday, May 24.
The closures are
part of a $165 million project that’s adding a carpool lane in each
direction of I-10 between I-605 and Puente Avenue. The project is on schedule
to wrap up in late fall. More info is here.
As part of the
project, Caltrans is also rebuilding the Bess pedestrian bridge. How exactly do you install a pedestrian bridge over a busy freeway? We're glad you asked! Check out the video below to find out.
