Project Description
Del Amo Boulevard is located in the central portion of the City of Torrance. The limits of the proposed project are between Crenshaw Boulevard and Madrona Avenue/Prairie Avenue. The project site is currently a vacant right-of-way, surrounded by industrial and manufacturing uses, including the Exxon-Mobil refinery to the north and Dow Chemical to the south. The proposed project would complete the missing segment of Del Amo Boulevard between Crenshaw Boulevard and Maple Avenue and it would widen the existing segment of Del Amo Boulevard between Maple Avenue and Prairie Avenue. When constructed, Del Amo Boulevard will be a four-lane divided roadway within the project limits and provide an additional east-west route throughout the City. Construction also includes a new bridge over the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad tracks, drainage improvements and relocation of existing utilities.
Project Status
The City of Torrance certified the final Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Assessment EIR/EA in April 2004. The project's design plans were completed in December 2008. The project will be constructed in 2 phases. Phase 1 will provide for the rerouting of two water pipelines and 2 sewer pipelines. Phase 1 construction began in January 2010 and will be completed in fall 2010. Phase 2 will construct the new 4-lane divided roadway, bridge over the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad tracks, and other elements of the project. Construction of Phase 2 will be funded by $7M from the federal Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP) and approximately $2.8M from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Economic Stimulus funds).
