About the I-5 Freeway Truck Lane Project

The ongoing construction project is widening the freeway and bridges to add a truck lane to I-5 in both directions. The southbound truck lane will extend from Pico Canyon Road/Lyons Avenue to the SR-14 connector, while the northbound truck lane will run from the connector to Gavin Canyon.

The new truck lanes will ease traffic delays, improve goods movement, absorb traffic growth due to population increase (both residential and commercial), and enhance safety by separating truck traffic from passenger vehicles.

Construction began in May 2012 and will be completed in 2014. Funds administered by Metro. For more information, click here.
