I-5, Florence Avenue Interchange
Location: La Mirada, CA
Client: Caltrans
The I-5, Florence Avenue Interchange project widens I-5 to add one HOV and one general purpose lane in each direction. The project extends through the cities of Downey and Santa Fe Springs to just north of the San Gabriel River Freeway (I-605) bridge. The freeway improvements include widening structures at Florence Avenue and Orr and Day Road, shoulder widening, median barriers, new on-ramp and off-ramp designs, and reconfiguring the Florence Avenue interchange at the I-5. The Florence Avenue overcrossing will be widened from four lanes to six lanes.
