All along the 16-mile I-405 Project corridor from Los Alamitos to Costa Mesa, OCTA’s public outreach team is building awareness one community meeting at a time.
Scheduled for completion in 2022, the project includes adding one regular lane in each direction from Euclid Street to I-605 and making improvements to freeway entrances, exits and bridges. It will also construct the 405 Express Lanes, two lanes in each direction from SR-73 to I-605. The new express lanes – incorporating the existing carpool lanes and connectors that opened in 2014 – will give solo drivers the choice to speed up their commute for a toll, while carpoolers can ride free or at a discount.
As the extensive project develops, the team keeps people in the loop about what they can expect during the construction process and after the $1.7 billion project is completed.
Last month, the team participated in the Westminster Spring Festival at the Westminster Civic Center with approximately 1,000 people in attendance. Our Spanish- and Vietnamese-speaking staff helped communicate the message and more than 200 people signed up to learn more about the project.
