I-105 ExpressLanes
Overview
Segments:
Segment 1: Sepulveda Bl to Central Av (Construction)
Segment 2: Central Av to I-710 (Design & Engineering)
Segment 3: I-710 to Studebaker Rd (Design & Engineering)
Metro has a plan to ease traffic and enhance safety on Interstate 105 (I-105) freeway 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 freeway. Metro ExpressLanes are available for use by all motorists, as a toll-free option to carpools and by paying a toll for single occupant drivers.
The I-105 ExpressLanes Project seeks to do the following:
- Enhance freeway operations and safety by improving traffic flow and reducing stop and go conditions
- Ease congestion by improving travel speeds on the ExpressLanes to meet the federal standard
- Reduce freeway overflow traffic onto nearby city streets
- Reinvest the revenue from the use of toll lanes on mobility improvements and transit projects in communities along the corridor
This Project expands the network of Metro ExpressLanes in LA County and provides direct access and connection to the I-110 Metro ExpressLanes, helping to reduce congestion, improve travel efficiency and enhance highway safety.
Status
The I-105 ExpressLanes Project is under construction in Segment 1. The current phase includes work activities along the shoulder of the right side of the freeway to perform new roadway pavement construction to accommodate the new ExpressLanes and the improvements provided by the project. The following activities will be conducted along the eastbound and westbound I-105 corridor to support the new roadway pavement construction:
- Landscape and tree removal
- Demolition and reconstruction of several sound walls
- Retaining wall construction at many locations
- Bridge/undercrossing construction at seven locations
- Frequent nighttime freeway lane reductions and ramp/connector closures
This current phase of construction work activities along the shoulder of the corridor in Segment 1 is anticipated to continue through the end of 2026. Overall construction for Segment 1 of the I-105 corridor is anticipated to be completed in 2028. Segments 2 and 3 are anticipated to start construction in mid-2026 and are anticipated to be completed in 2029.
