BACKGRO ND:
In May of 2003, the City obtained Caltrans approval for the Project Study Report/Project Report
(PSR/PR) for the Seal Beach Boulevard and Interstate 405 Bridge Approach Widening Project
No. 49750. This project report identifies the first phase of the project that will widen the existing
exit ramps to provide for an additional right turn lane, widen the ramp intersections to provide
dual left turn lanes, and widening of the 1 -405 over crossing approaches. This phase will prevent
both the North and South intersections of 1 -405 & Seal Beach Blvd. from reaching a level of
service (LOS) F in 2025. The current LOS at the existing intersections is C/D and the proposed
improvement will improve traffic flow to a LOS of B /C.
In June of 2004, RBF was selected as the design firm to deliver the proposed project by Spring
of 2005, and is now completing final comments and permit requirements. The proposed project
includes widening the intersections, signal improvements, restriping the pavement, adding new
turn pockets, and new concrete work including curb ramps, curb and gutter, and sidewalk.
Widening of the bridge will occur on a future project, as agreed with Caltrans and OCTA.
As part of Caltrans requirements, the City is required to enter into a cooperative agreement with
Caltrans for any work taking place on state facilities. Previously, City Council had approved an
cooperative agreement dated January 26, 2004, for the design and the current agreement will be
applicable for construction services. The City will be responsible for all construction related
costs and Caltrans will be responsible for quality assurance of all construction activities.
