The City of Westlake Village held a groundbreaking ceremony this morning for the Lindero Canyon/101 Freeway bridge project. When the project is completed, the Lindero Canyon Road/101 bridge will feature an additional travel lane in each direction of traffic and a series of unique aesthetic improvements. Funding for this project is provided by Measure R.

“Westlake Village has been a strong partner with Metro to quickly and effectively move forward congestion relief projects like the Lindero Canyon Bridge Widening Project using the Measure R funds collected in Los Angeles County,” said Metro’s Executive Director of Highway Project Delivery Doug Failing. “We want all of our local partners to be this effective in providing congestion relief for their residents.”
