Contractors successfully demolished a portion of the railroad bridge near Edinger Avenue last weekend despite weather challenges. The concrete barrier on the east side of the bridge was demolished over two nights. The area was then cleared before train service resumed Monday morning. 

This demolition was different compared to the MacArthur Boulevard and Edinger Avenue bridge barrier demolitions that occurred last year. With railroad tracks beneath the bridge, crews used a bucket attached to an excavator to catch debris from the top of the freeway to protect the tracks. Crews will now begin to reconstruct the railroad bridge. 

Kudos to our contractors! We also appreciate the public’s patience in allowing them to complete the work safely and efficiently.

OCTA, in cooperation with Caltrans, is improving 4 miles of SR-55 between I-405 and I-5. The project will improve traffic flow and reduce travel time by adding one regular lane and one carpool lane in each direction. Also, the project will add merge lanes between several interchanges and stripe carpool lanes for continuous access, augmenting safety on the freeway by making merging easier. These enhancements are expected to create a better, smoother driving experience for motorists.
