Caltrans District 7- Route 210 Street Rehabilitation Project

This is a major roadway rehab project. The Project was located in Los Angeles County, through Cities of La Crescenta Montrose, La Cañada-Flintridge, Glendale, and Pasadena as well as portions of County of Los Angeles.

The project rehabilitates 90 lane-mile of pavement, to replace lanes 3 & 4 completely, repairs lanes 1 & 2, replaces the median barrier, upgrades overhead sign structures to the new standards that withstand higher wind loads, upgrades the existing High Pressure Sodium lighting to the new energy efficient LED lighting system at the three tunnels at the interchange of I-210 and SR-134, installs a high friction surface to improve stopping and traction within the tunnels to help reduce truck and vehicle accidents, upgrades overhead sign panels with new more reflective signs that require no additional lighting,pgrades the Drainage System to provide more capacity to improve drainage to make the pavement life expectancy is 40 years.

Project Success:

The project is a major rehabilitation road way in urban area. It stretching out 90 miles lanes in various cities. The challenges are to work in two major shifts with multi stage construction. Real challenge to maintain project progress during Rose Bowl, Rose Parade and major sports events. The AMC staff & Caltrans worked as an excellent team with City of Pasadena to plan the work with least impact to residents, businesses and travelling public for the Events.
