During the next five to six years, the I-405 Improvement Project will be implemented. The project is designed to improve a 16-mile corridor between Los Alamitos and Costa Mesa. OCTA, in cooperation with Caltrans, will add one regular lane in each direction from Euclid Street to I-605 and make 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 incorporate the existing carpool lanes and connectors that opened in 2014.
As part of its comprehensive public awareness campaign to educate communities along the 16-mile corridor about these improvements and their benefits, OCTA’s I-405 Project Public Outreach Team meets with schools, civic and religious groups, homeowners’ associations, and other community organizations. The team has already met with many groups and will soon offer information to the Garden Grove Chamber of Commerce, the Los Alamitos/Seal Beach Rotary, Fountain Valley Kiwanis, and many others.
During each presentation, team members deliver a PowerPoint overview of the project and provide fact sheets, maps, postcards, and posters with tear-off contact sheets. These meetings promote two-way dialogue and provide an excellent forum for answering questions and creating advocacy for the project.
