Background

The $1 billion project, a joint partnership between the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) and Caltrans, will create a 10-mile carpool lane on the northbound I-405 between I-10 and U.S. 101 Freeways. The project will add capacity to one of the busiest freeways in the region and make it safer.  Other project enhancements include the improvement of supporting freeway infrastructure such as ramps and sound walls, and the widening of freeway lanes that connect with both the I-10 and U.S. 101.
