Project Overview
The project extended from Silverbow Ave. in the city of Norwalk to the Orr & Day Rd. railroad overhead (south of the Florence Ave. Bridge) on Interstate 5.
We widened two miles of I-5 to add one High Occupancy Vehicle Lane (HOV) or car pool lane and one general purpose lane in each direction.
Three bridges were reconstructed to accommodate the widened freeway: The Norwalk-San Antonio Undercrossing, the Imperial Highway Undercrossing and the Pioneer Boulevard Undercrossing.
The project included shoulder widening, new ramp alignment, concrete median barriers, sound walls, and decorative tile work. We also extended Adoree Street north to Imperial Highway.
Interchange modifications at Imperial Highway and Norwalk Blvd. / San Antonio Dr. included adding one lane in each direction to the streets with traffic signals to improve traffic flow at the interchanges.
Improvements: HOV lane, one mixed-flow lane in each direction, interchange modifications at San Antonio Dr. undercrossing, Imperial Highway undercrossing, Pioneer Boulevard undercrossing, and Orr and Day Road.
The new Imperial Highway on ramp to northbound I-5 is open.
The new Imperial Highway off ramp from southbound I-5 is open.
The new San Antonio Dr. on ramp to southbound I-5 is open.Photo galleries:
Crews placed decorative tile on the walls of the San Antonio, Imperial Highway, and Pioneer Blvd. bridges under I-5.
