About the Project: The viaduct is 3,500 ft. long and crosses the LA River, 18 railroad tracks, and the 101 Freeway. It will have ADA-compliant sidewalks, Class A bike lanes and 12 acres of park, art and community amenities underneath. Programmable lights will illuminate each of the 10 pairs of arches from the ground and deck level and will offer unique light displays. Designed with a 100-year design life, it features innovative triple pendulum bearings to withstand a 1,000-year seismic event. The project is the result of an unprecedented collaboration of residents, elected officials, business leaders, schools, labor unions, and cyclists. Due to the extensive public participation, the project is seeking an Envision Platinum rating. On-going construction activities anticipated to be highlighted during the tour include falsework erection, Y-bent construction, and horizontal directional drilling. The viaduct is scheduled to be open to traffic in late 2020. More about the project, Click Here. |
