FLORENCE AVENUE INTERCHANGE PROJECT The most recent pile driving activity adjacent to the Florence Avenue interchange along northbound I-5, just south of the Florence Avenue bridge, has been temporarily completed. Crews also completed the most recent operation driving test piles along the southbound I-5 Florence Avenue on-ramp. Crews are working to form soundwalls along northbound and southbound I-5. Roadway excavation is underway behind k-rail and the construction fencing, along Mondon Avenue between Cecilia Street and Buell Street. Over the next few weeks crews will be pouring concrete for the new soundwall adjacent to southbound I-5. This work will be conducted weekdays (Monday through Friday) between 6:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. and will be ongoing for approximately the next two to three weeks. Finally, work is ongoing on the Orr and Day railroad bridge, which runs perpendicular to I-5, underneath the freeway, south of Florence Avenue.
Crews have begun work on the detention basin on Adoree Street / Zeus Street; this work will include grading, excavation and removal of the sidewalk on Zeus Street. This work will be conducted during the daytime, Monday through Fridays, and is expected to be ongoing for approximately one month. Adoree Street and Frontage Road, have both been opened to through traffic between Imperial Highway and Norwalk Boulevard.
