Replacement of the Sawtooth Bridges is a component of the Gateway Program to preserve and expand the busiest section of the Northeast Corridor (NEC).
The project will receive a $100 million grant from the federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ)/Carbon Reduction Program.
The project will improve safety at the Doran Street crossing, which has one of the highest numbers of safety-related incidents involving vehicles, bicycles, or pedestrians in Los Angeles County.
The second phase of this project, which aims to finalize the concept plan and bring the project up to 30% design, was approved during the NJ TRANSIT Board of Directors meeting held on Sept. 14.
RTA CEO Lona Hankins was joined by Federal Transit Administrator, Nuria Fernandez, US Representative Troy Carter (LA-2), and other federal, state, and local officials for the grand opening ceremony at the new terminal.
Key representatives of the project and elected officials made formal remarks, cut the ribbon, and invited those in attendance to explore the new, revitalized space.
The extension will deliver transportation equity to East Harlem.
Challenges and adjustments didn’t stop Arcadis from providing Los Angeles with a new 1.9-mile underground light-rail extension that will now support riders with a one-seat journey from downtown L.A. to several communities.
The project creates a safer corridor, improving reliable bus, bike, and pedestrian connections between Palms and Mar Vista.
The celebration took place at the D Street railroad crossing in La Verne, Calif., just steps away from the University of La Verne campus and one of the four new light rail stations that will serve future riders.
