New Sound Wall/Roadway Pavement Construction 

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. Major construction for the first phase of the project, Segment 1 between Sepulveda Bl and Central Av, is anticipated for a duration of approximately three years.
 
As part of these improvements, crews will construct several new sound walls at new locations and perform roadway pavement construction along the corridor in Segment 1. Sound wall construction is related to work activities involving roadway pavement construction that allows for the accommodation of the new ExpressLanes and the improvements provided by the I-105 ExpressLanes Project.
