Projects
 California Incline Reconstruction
City of Santa Monica
The City of Santa Monica is planning to replace the California Incline between PCH and Ocean Avenue. A portion of the existing Incline is a concrete bridge structure that was built in 1939. The bridge is structurally deficient, does not meet current seismic standards and will be removed and replaced using federal and local funds. The California Incline will be closed to traffic during construction. Access to and from PCH will be directed to Moomat Ahiko Way (near McClure Tunnel/Ocean Avenue) while the California Incline is closed.
Extension of Southbound Left Turn Lane, PCH to the California Incline
City of Santa Monica
The southbound left turn lane from PCH to the California Incline will be extended approximately 260 feet to the northerly end of the adjacent beach parking lot including removal of the northbound left turn into the beach parking lot and installation of a delineator between the northbound lane and Incline left turn pocket at the parking lot driveway. An approved plan and encroachment permit has been received from Caltrans to do the work which is expected to take place in early July and completed before the end of July. The work will be done during night-time hours.

District 27 Gravity Sewer
Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts
This project will replace the Sanitation Districts sewage pump station located at the northeast corner of PCH and Coastline Drive and the pump station's force main pipe located in PCH with a new 1,400-foot long gravity sewer pipe in PCH and Coastline Drive. Permits to construct this project have been obtained from Caltrans (for work in PCH) and from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (for work in Coastline Drive). Work is anticipated to begin in early 2012 and be completed in the third quarter of 2012. All construction activities and traffic lane closures in PCH and Coastline Drive will only occur during overnight hours (for example, between 9 pm and 6 am). |
Sylmar Ground Return System Replacement Project
City of Los Angeles, Department of Water and Power
The proposed project will modify and replace the Pacific Direct Current Intertie (PDCI) that carries power between the Pacific Northwest and the Los Angeles area. The project, which would replace the existing Ground Return System from the Sylmar Converter Station to the Pacific Ocean, would enhance the reliability and availability of the transmission system.
Three alternative alignments are being evaluated in the Draft Environmental Impact Report which is scheduled to be issued in Spring 2011. The alternative alignments include are referred to as the San Vicente Alignment, the Topanga State Park Alignment, and the Sunset Alignment. |
