Ames, Atkinson Crews Forge Ahead With I-10 Project
Crews work to smooth the new lanes built on segment 2.
By Irwin Rapoport CEG CORRESPONDENT
The last two segments — 2 and 3 — of the California Department of Transportation’s (Caltrans) San Bernardino Freeway (I-10) High Occupancy Lane Project are pressing forward, with segment 2 expected to be completed at the end of April and segment 3 in the summer of 2021. The three segments total $625 million, funded by state and federal dollars. The $166 million contract for segment 1 was awarded to Flatiron Corp., the $160 million contract for segment 2 was awarded to Ames Construction Inc., and the $183 million contract for segment
3 was awarded to Guy F. Atkinson Construction LLC. The key element of the initiative is the construction of one High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV or carpool) lane along the San Bernardino Freeway (I-10) in each direction between the San Gabriel River Freeway (I605) and Orange Freeway (SR-57). “The project will increase the 557-mile carpool lane system in Los Angeles County, add freeway capacity, reduce congestion by encouraging carpooling, improve traffic flow, and reduce energy consumption, thereby improving air quality, said Jim Medina, a Caltrans Public Information Officer, District 7. see I-10 page 8
