Caltrans Gets Funds for Freeway Message Signs
The California Department of Transportation has received $5.4 million to expand and upgrade message signs on the 26 freeways in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. The funds will bring the number of message signs in the Los Angeles metropolitan freeway system to 100, up from the current 44.
Twenty-three existing message signs, which provide advisories to motorists, will also be replaced or relocated, and some existing signs will be upgraded to display three lines of traffic advisory information instead of only two.
Work will begin early this summer on installing nine new freeway signs at various locations on the Santa Monica (I-10), Santa Ana (I-5), Golden State (I-5), San Bernardino (I-10), San Diego (I-405) and the San Gabriel River (I-605) freeways.
