About the Project

Caltrans is building an HOV lane in each direction of I-5 between SR-170 and north of Buena Vista Street in Burbank.

This project will alleviate congestion, encourage carpooling, improve air quality, provide a smoother ride for motorists, and reduce traffic on city streets.

Work began in early 2011 and is expected to be completed in late 2014.

Caltrans thanks motorists for their patience and understanding during construction.
