Retaining Wall Construction Progress

There are 18 retaining walls being constructed along northbound and southbound SR-55. Approximately a year and a half into the project, contractors are making good progress with more than half of these walls at various stages of construction. 

Recent wall construction has been focused along the on-ramp from MacArthur Boulevard to southbound SR-55. Since December, crews have been removing asphalt and installing shoring for the wall. Crews will continue excavation activities and removal of the existing wall through the end of February.

Crews are expected to complete construction of the retaining wall adjacent to the Edinger Avenue on-ramp to northbound SR-55 following barrier and backfill work.

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.
