State and local transit officials and leaders on Wednesday, Oct. 4, kicked off a major freeway project along Interstate 605, designed to enhance the corridor from Los Alamitos to the San Gabriel Valley. The $298.3 million, multi-phased effort — dubbed the Super 605 Freeway Enhancement Project —  aims to improve overall ride quality along the route while bolstering safety for drivers and for state highway workers. The new pavement itself will extend the life of the roadway from Long Beach to the San Gabriel Valley for up to 40 years, officials said.
