SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective
July 1, 2007, the FHWA assigned and
Caltrans assumed environmental
responsibilities for this project pursuant
to 23 U.S.C. 327. Caltrans as the
delegated National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) agency has prepared
a Draft EIS on a proposal for a highway
improvement project on Interstate 710
in Los Angeles County, California. The
Interstate 710 Corridor Project proposes
to improve Interstate 710 (I–710) in Los
Angeles County. The I–710 Corridor
Project proposes to widen existing I–710
from Ocean Boulevard in the City of
Long Beach to State Route 60 (SR–60) in
the City of Los Angeles, a distance of
approximately 18 miles. The proposed
project also includes improvements to
the interchanges of I–710 with I–405,
SR–91, and I–5, as well as the I–710
interchanges with local arterial streets
throughout the project limits.
The alternatives evaluated in the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement are
four Build Alternatives and a No Build
Alternative. Alternative 5A proposes to
widen the I–710 mainline from six or
eight general purpose lanes to ten
general purpose lanes. This alternative
will modernize the design at the I–405,
SR–91 and a portion of the I–5
interchanges, modernize and

reconfigure local arterial interchanges
throughout the I–710 corridor, modify
freeway access at various locations, and
shift the I–710 centerline at various
locations to reduce right-of-way
impacts. In addition to improvements to
the I–710 mainline and the
interchanges, Alternative 5A also
includes TSM/TDM, Transit, and
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
improvements; improvements to 42
local arterial intersections within the I–
710 Corridor; aesthetic enhancements;
and, drainage and water quality
improvement design features.
Alternative 6A includes all the
components of Alternative 5A described
above. In addition, this alternative
includes a separated four-lane freight
corridor from Ocean Boulevard
northerly to its terminus near the
intermodal rail yards in the city of
Commerce, with limited access near I–
405 and at SR–91. The freight corridor
would be built to Caltrans highway
design standards and would be
restricted to the exclusive use of heavyduty trucks (5+ axles). Alternative 6B
includes all the components of
Alternative 6A as described above, but
would restrict the use of the freight
corridor to zero-emission trucks rather
than conventional trucks. Alternative 6C
includes all the components of
Alternative 6B as described above, but
would toll trucks using the freight
corridor. Alternative 1 (No Build) would
maintain the current configuration and
capacity of the existing I–710 freeway.
The Notice of Intent was published in
the Federal Register on August 20,
2008. Anticipated federal approvals
include: Modified Access Report to the
Interstate System, Air Quality
Conformity, Section 7 consultation for
Threatened and Endangered Species,
and a Section 404 permit.
