Crews conduct environmental sampling at the site of the future I-210 Bridge.

You may have noticed crews working at the future site of the I-210 Bridge, between Baldwin and Santa Anita Avenues on the eastbound I-210 Freeway. Following installation of a temporary sound wall and erosion control materials last month, crews were busy conducting environmental sampling. In the coming weeks, crews will begin shoring (or grading) the slopes of the center and southern freeway medians, to create space for the large construction equipment to access the construction site. A temporary retaining wall will be built along the center median of the freeway to support the westbound I-210 traffic lanes, as part of that effort.
Work on the structure’s foundations is planned to start in June. Drilling, rather than pile-driving, has been selected as the construction method for the foundation work. Although this method takes more time, it was selected because it reduces impacts on the local community.
