OnRamps/OffRamps Fortunately, the proposed freeway cover on has on ramps and offramps on only two of the five sections of the site. Few points of access to the freeway makes it easier and more feasible to build and navigate the site from
Freeway Section a structural engineering standpoint. Both sections that house the Museum and Water Treatment facility have NO offramps or onramps that might impede with the development.
28 the Mile Park and Museum
The Interstate 10 freeway conveniently sits at the bottom of an old, original creek bed that emptied into the Santa Monica Bay. Because of this, the freeway sits on average about 40’-45’ below the grade of the surround-
ing neighborhood. A freeway cap would literally stitch the surrounding grade to one another. This is a huge advantage as the development doesn’t have to factor in any level changes between the park and the surrounding community.
