SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, on behalf of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), is advising the general public that Caltrans conducted studies of the potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed highway project. The project proposes to widen existing I–5 between the State Route 14 (SR–14) Interchange and the Parker Road Interchange. The project area is in Los Angeles County and covers a distance of approximately 13.6 miles (mi). Within the limits of the proposed project, I–5 currently provides generally four mixed-flow lanes in each direction, with the exception of three mixed-flow lanes in each direction at the I–5/SR–14 interchange.

The project segment of I–5 crosses the City of Santa Clarita, the unincorporated community of Castaic, and other parts of unincorporated northern Los Angeles County. The project proposes extending the HOV lanes on I–5 from the newly constructed HOV lanes south of the SR– 14 interchange to just south of the Parker Road/I–5 interchange, incorporating truck climbing lanes from the SR–14 interchange to Pico Canyon Road/Lyons Avenue, and constructing and/or extending auxiliary lanes between interchanges at six locations.
