I-605 Valley Blvd Interchange Improvement Project IS/EA

The I-605 Valley Blvd Interchange Improvement Project, managed by Caltrans District 7 in Los Angeles County, focuses on enhancing the Interstate 605 interchange from post mile R18.9 to R19.5. The scope of work includes reconfiguring, widening, and modifying freeway on and off-ramps, as well as implementing improvements to Valley Boulevard and Temple Avenue. Key project components include the installation of new signals, ADA upgrades, and bike and pedestrian enhancements within the city of Industry and the unincorporated community of Avocado Heights. The project is currently in the environmental and administrative approval phase, having been processed under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) with a Negative Declaration and Addendum confirming no significant environmental effects. Administrative oversight involves a funding, design, and construction agreement between the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments, the County of Los Angeles, and the Los Angeles County Flood Control District. Primary points of contact include Jason Roach, Senior Environmental Scientist, and Cherry Zamora, Associate Deputy Director.
