  • **UPDATE** Lane Shift on Westbound Foothill Freeway I-210 for Pavement Rehabilitation Pasadena and La Cañada Flintridge – Be
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE **UPDATE** Lane Shift on Westbound Foothill Freeway I-210 For Pavement Rehabilitation Pasadena and La Cañada Flintridge – Beginning the week of August 21, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will make temporary changes along westbound Foothill Freeway (I-210) from Lincoln Avenue to Foothill Boulevard. Construction crews will restripe and shift lanes towards the median. Both eastbound and westbound inner shoulders will be used as traffic lanes. The eastbound inner shoulder will become a temporary bypass lane for westbound traffic. A concrete barrier will separate the eastbound traffic and the westbound bypass lane for the safety of motorists. Two outer lanes on westbound I-210 will close as crews begin to replace the pavement along the freeway. The bypass lane allows all traffic lanes on westbound I-210 to remain open while work is underway, which will be in effect through spring 2018. The Foothill Freeway is a major thoroughfare, serving commuters between Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties. As a result of heavy use, the road needs to be replaced with new pavement. The temporary traffic lane shift and closures are part of a $148.5 million pavement rehabilitation project on I-210. Once the project is completed in 2018, the new surface will provide a smoother drive for motorists, reduce time required for maintenance, and minimize the need for further lane closures. Motorists are advised to “Be Work Zone Alert.” WHAT The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will close one lane of the eastbound Foothill Freeway (1-210) from Ocean View Boulevard to Lincoln Avenue as part of a pavement rehabilitation project.

  • Precast Concrete Highway Slabs Expedite Largest Project of This Type in North America on I‐ 210 in California
    Barbara Bogo FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Oldcastle Precast MARCH 2017 (888) 965‐3227 [email protected] Precast Concrete Highway Slabs Expedite Largest Project of this Type in North America on I‐ 210 in California PASADENA, Calif. (MARCH 2017) – Precast concrete highway pavement slabs are increasing in popularity for use in rapid highway construction. This is, in part, the result of many state departments of transportation recognizing the efficiency of the precast slab method and selecting it for use on an increasing number of state projects. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has specified precast concrete pavement slabs for one of the largest projects of this type in North America, the Pavement and Slab Replacement Project on the Foothill Freeway (I‐ 210). This transportation project, approximately 12 miles north of Los Angeles, begins at the Dunsmore Avenue undercrossing in La Crescenta‐Montrose and extends to the North Los Robles Avenue overcrossing in Pasadena. Flatiron West of Chino Hills, California, has appointed Oldcastle Precast of Fontana, California to supply several thousand precast highway pavement slabs for this $148 million project. As a national precaster who has embraced this technology, Oldcastle Precast, a leading provider of engineered building product solutions for North American infrastructure projects, received the contract to manufacture 6,500 precast concrete pavement slabs. Each slab measures 12.5‐foot ‐wide by 11.33‐foot‐ long by 12‐inch‐thick, for the 9.7‐mile segment of I‐210, and will be used to replace sections, that have undergone erosion and deterioration due to years of exposure to heavy traffic. Site installation of the pavement slabs is occurring as an overnight process.

  • West Adams Matters
    WAHA Number 241 West Adams Heritage Association June 2007 West Adams Matters A Landmark Victorian Cottage Needs New Home by Laura Meyers The little 1890 Queen Anne cottage on Washington Boulevard is battered and beaten up, but not bowed. And now the Henry Obee Cottage, boarded up for more than a year, has passed one hurdle in the effort to save this little piece of West Adams history. In May, eight months after Anna Marie Brooks took the initiative and nominated the property for landmark status, the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission voted to declare the Henry Obee Cottage ,^y^ > f , a Cultural-Historic Monument (HCM). But that vote came with a caveat: the Victorian cottage I has lost its original context and should be moved to a more compatible site, near residences of similar character. Brooks, WAHA, and several other preservation activists, including Ben Davis and Mitzi Mogul, played a seminal role in having this home's historic status recognized and made official. Indeed, the City's staff had recommended against an HCM determination, saying that the cottage wasn't "distinguished" enough. But we rallied to the cause, attending the May hearing and arguing, in part, that in fact vernacular cottages are as much a fabric of Los Angeles history - telling the story of Southern California's development from pueblo to cosmopolitan metropolis — as are mansions designed by famous architects. Located at 1408 West Washington Blvd. near the corner of New England Street (between Henry Obee Cottage's Hoover and Vermont), the Obee Cottage sits on a lot that is slated for the development of new nortli gable detail (continued on page 10) WAHA's Star Spangled 4th of July Wednesday, July 4,1 - 4 p.m.
