SR-57 Pavement Replacement Project
Location and Limits
In Los Angeles County in Diamond Bar and City of Industry from Orange County line to Route 57/60 Separation
The Project
The SR-57 Pavement Replacement project spans 4.4 miles between the SR-60/SR-57 confluence and the Orange County line. State Route 57 is a major commute corridor that connects Orange County to Los Angeles County.

FAQs
Q: Will this project close the freeway at any time?
A: Some lanes may be closed in either direction or both directions simultaneously to facilitate a safe work zone for workers and motorists. At least one or two lanes in each direction will remain open for traffic while work is underway. For the latest road conditions, go to Caltrans Quickmap. All work is weather dependent and subject to change.
Q: What are the current closures for this project?
A: Current closures:
- Southbound SR-57 High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane
- S Brea Canyon Road on-ramp
Q: Will this project be noisy at night?
A: Residents and businesses near project areas will experience noise from construction related activities. Loud noise may be experienced during the project's demolition phase. Noise will dissipate as construction progresses from each location. Caltrans will monitor noise levels during construction to minimize the impact to local neighborhoods. If you experience excessive noise or dust related to this construction project, please contact Caltrans.
Q: Will the speed limit be reduced in the construction zone?
A: California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers regularly patrol the area to enforce the 55 mile-an-hour speed limit. Motorists are encouraged to “Slow for the Cone Zone” and be “Work Zone Alert.” Traffic fines are also doubled in construction zones.
