I-105 ExpressLanes Project

Utility Work: Imperial Hwy/ Alameda St

Summary: Metro has a plan to ease traffic and enhance safety on the I-105, which includes the conversion of the existing High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane, or carpool lane, into two Metro  ExpressLanes in each direction on the I-105. Early preparation work activities are soon anticipated in advance of major construction in the eastern areas of the I-105 corridor, as the western area has been under construction since 2025.

As part of the I-105 improvements, work crews will perform early utility investigation and waterline relocation work activities along Imperial Hwy at Alameda St to support upcoming major construction. These activities are anticipated to begin in late May and will continue through late July 2026. Construction for Segment 2, between Central Av and I-710, is anticipated to start in fall 2026, while Segment 3, between I-710 and Studebaker Rd, is expected to begin construction in mid-2026. Both Segments 2 and 3 are anticipated to be completed in 2029.

Location: Work crews will conduct preparatory activities along Imperial Av between Mona Bl and Philadelphia Wy involving utility investigation and waterline relocation work activities.

Work Schedule

Work is anticipated to start in late May and continue through late July 2026, lasting approximately two months.
Work hours are anticipated from Monday through Friday, during daytime hours (9am to 3pm), along with intermittent nighttime work (9pm to 5am)

What to Expect:

Two phases of traffic control involving lane reductions will be implemented to safely perform this work:
- In the eastbound direction, two lanes will be closed, leaving one lane of traffic open. (Both phases)
- In the westbound direction, one lane will be closed, leaving two lanes of traffic open. (Second phase only)
Work activities include trenching, excavation, water line installation, and potholing.
These work activities are the beginning of long-term construction involving the widening and retrofitting of the westbound I-105 along Imperial Hwy at this location, lasting approximately 2 years.
