Caltrans will rehabilitate asphalt along U.S. 101 lanes, ramps, and shoulders, and replace and repair concrete slabs. Work will also involve replacing guardrails, curbs and dikes, a crash cushion, and traffic striping, as well as upgrades to curb ramps at 23 locations to meet ADA standards. Once complete, the $24.3 million project will extend the pavement life, improve ride quality, and enhance pedestrian accessibility safety along U.S. 101 in the Cahuenga Pass in the city of Los Angeles. Construction is expected to complete in summer 2029. The contractor is Chumo Construction Inc.
