The work is part of the Rosecrans/Bloomfield/Shoemaker Bridges Project extending from Shoemaker Avenue to Silverbow Avenue, a distance of 1.2 miles. This project includes reconstructing three bridges at Rosecrans, Bloomfield and Shoemaker avenues, a pedestrian overcrossing at Silverbow Avenue, reconfiguring the ramps at Rosecrans Ave., upgrading and realigning Firestone Boulevard frontage road.  Flatiron West, Inc. of San Marcos, CA. is the contractor on this project.
The on-going construction on I-5 from Alondra Boulevard to Imperial Highway is part of the $1.6 billion I-5 South Corridor Improvement Projects to widen the freeway by adding one general purpose lane and one High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) or carpool lane, in both directions from the Los Angeles County/Orange County line to I-605. The projects are overseen by Caltrans and funding is administered by Metro.
The public is encouraged to sign-up to receive email notifications on freeway lane and ramp closures and local city street closures by calling the I-5 South Corridor Improvement Projects Toll-Free Information line at (855) 454-6335 or by visiting www.I-5info.com
