Construction Activities

Lane Channel

Crews continue to reconstruct the Lane Channel, backfilling and forming the walls, through the end of November. 


Crews backfilling and forming the walls of the Lane Channel along southbound SR-55.

As part of the channel reconstruction, crews continue building a segment of the drainage system under the southbound SR-55 Dyer Road on-ramp, necessitating a 30-day closure of the ramp. We’re more than halfway through the closure with the ramp scheduled to reopen to motorists on Wednesday, Nov. 22.

Coming Soon - Railroad Bridge Barrier Demolition

Crews are expected to begin demolishing the concrete barrier along the east side of the SR-55 freeway bridge over the railroad to accommodate the freeway improvements. Additional details will be provided in future communications.

Veterans Day

This Veterans Day, we honor and thank all those who have served and those who continue to serve in the United States Armed Forces.

About the Project

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.
