I-710 Long Beach Freeway

 

710
Interstate 710 is a major artery for trucks hauling cargo containers to and from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, and inland distribution centers run by many of the nation’s major retailers.

Regional planners are currently studying ways to improve air quality as well as safety, mobility and congestion on I-710. They are also assessing alternative technologies that could improve cargo movement along this important transportation corridor.

Preliminary work is under way for an Environmental Impact Report on these major improvements. Metro, the regional mass-transit agency, is leading the planning effort, along with six participating agencies that include Caltrans, the Port of Los Angeles, the Port of Long Beach, the Southern California Association of Governments, the Gateway Cities Council of Governments and the I-5 Joint Powers Authority.

Planning for I-710 improvements is being conducted with extensive input from residents and elected officials in cities along the I-710 corridor. For more information, please visit www.metro.net.
