Crews have begun work to construct the new sound wall. Over the next few weeks, crews will continue drilling CIDH (cast in drilled hole) piles along northbound I-5. This operation will be conducted weekdays, between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.


A portion of the sidewalk on Longworth Avenue, adjacent to the northbound I-5, has been closed to accommodate sound wall reconstruction.  Crews have installed a chain link fence to close this area of the sidewalk from public access through the end of 2017. Beginning as early as Friday, July 28, crews will begin removing this portion of the sidewalk and the adjoining block wall, as they prepare to reconstruct the freeway sound wall at this location. Sidewalk/block wall removal work will take place weekdays between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. and may be intermittently loud and disruptive due to concrete removal activities. The sidewalk will be restored once sound wall construction is complete.

IMPERIAL HIGHWAY & PIONEER BOULEVARD PROJECT

Crews will be  completing nighttime drilling operations for CIDH (cast in drilled hole) piles on Imperial Highway. This work will be ongoing for approximately four weeks and will require nightly closures on Imperial Highway, between Adoree Street and South Frontage Road. In addition, the contractor will be pouring concrete footings on Pioneer Boulevard and will close southbound traffic between Crewe Street and Imperial Highway for approximately three weeks (shown in red on the map below; detour route highlighted in green). Work will be performed Sunday through Thursday nights, between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.
