What

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in cooperation with the Port of Los Angeles (Port) proposes to improve the northbound (NB) Interstate 110 (I-110) ramps at John S. Gibson Boulevard and the NB I-110 and southbound (SB) State Route (SR) 47/NB I-110 Connector. The proposed work includes widening the SR 47/I-110 connector from 1 to 2 lanes, extending the additional general purpose lane on the NB I-110 past the John S. Gibson Boulevard off-ramp, modifying the northbound ramps at the I-110/John S. Gibson Boulevard interchange, and improving the intersection of John S. Gibson Boulevard and the NB I-110 ramps. The project would also include improvements to the existing drainage system and widening of the Pacific Avenue Undercrossing and the Channel Street Overhead. To abate existing and future traffic noise, soundwalls will be constructed.
