The $70.2 million project covers State Route 2 from Centinela Avenue in Santa Monica to the route’s terminus in Echo Park. It includes three segments:
- Segment A: Santa Monica Boulevard from Centinela Avenue to Interstate 405 (1.4 miles).
- Segment B: Santa Monica Boulevard from La Brea Avenue to U.S. 101 (2.1 miles).
- Segment C: Alvarado Street/Glendale Boulevard from the northbound U.S. 101 ramps to the northbound SR-2 terminus (1.5 miles).
Upon completion, the project is expected to extend pavement life and improve safety along the corridor.
