The first construction of a project to widen the 55 Freeway between the 405 and 5 freeways is getting bigger.
Crews have finished demolition work around the freeway’s bridge over MacArthur Boulevard, which made space for adding another southbound lane and a new foundation for the expanded section of the bridge is expected to start soon.
The nearly half-billion project will add a second carpool lane and a new regular lane in both directions to the headache portion between the 405 and the 5.
Existing lanes are expected to remain open, and there will be only a few overnight closures, Orange County Transportation Authority officials have said.
Completion is expected in 2026.
