Los Angeles Completes $51 Million Harbor Freeway Access Improvements in Port’s Wilmington Area
Officials from the Port of Los Angeles and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) on June 20 celebrated the official grand opening of the newly configured I 110 (Harbor Freeway) access ramps in the port’s Wilmington area. The completed construction project—which also includes key roadway modifications—is expected to significantly improve traffic flow and ease-of-merging on and off the freeway, and reduce congestion at a key, multi-point intersection near port terminals.
Funding for the $51 million project included $6.65 million from the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority; $8.3 million from the Trade Corridors Improvement Fund; $5.9 million from STPL-STP federal funds and the balance from the Port of Los Angeles.
"One of the port’s main priorities continues to be improvements in our infrastructure, and that includes roadways around the port," said Port Executive Director Gene Seroka. "Reducing congestion and improving traffic flow is a win-win for business, as well as residents and commuters who regularly travel this route through Wilmington."
The Wilmington roadwork and ramp announcement follows the completion in May of the $46 million connector improvement project in San Pedro by the Port of Los Angeles in collaboration with Caltrans.
