Los Angeles Union Station Roadway Repairs Project

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority is proposing the Los Angeles Union Station Roadway Repairs Project to address structural and environmental hazards at the Southeast Access Road. The project is necessitated by a partially collapsed abandoned underground utility tunnel that created a sinkhole approximately six feet long, six feet wide, and twelve inches deep. The scope of work includes the abatement and removal of 12 linear feet of asbestos containing storm drain, demolition of the manhole shaft, installation of a new sub to replace the shaft, and the structural reinforcement and waterproofing of the tunnel lid, followed by general roadway repairs. The project is located at Los Angeles Union Station, 800 N. Alameda St., Los Angeles, California. It is classified under NAICS code 237310 and qualifies for a Class 1 categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act as it involves the repair and minor alteration of existing infrastructure without expanding its use. Tom Kefalas, Executive Officer of Environmental Services, serves as the primary point of contact for this forecast.
