Atlantic Boulevard Bridge Widening

Atlantic Boulevard Bridge Widening

To enhance the safety of Atlantic Blvd. over the Los Angeles River and improve the intersection performance at District Blvd., the City of Vernon proposes to widen Atlantic Blvd. from 500 feet north of the Los Angeles River to 800 feet south of the intersection with District Blvd. The project involves widening Atlantic Blvd. for approximately 1,300 linear feet to provide traffic shoulders, standard sidewalks, and a right-turn lane over the Atlantic Blvd. Bridge. The proposed roadway configuration includes six 11-foot through traffic lanes, one northbound 11-foot right turn lane, 4-foot minimum shoulders and a median varying from 3 feet to 8 feet at District Blvd. To accomplish the bridge widening, the pier wall supports will be widened approximately 16 feet to the west and 19 feet to the east. In addition, debris nosing walls will be installed upstream of the bridge, extending approximately 30 feet upriver.
