Put something together for the Harbor Freeway from all the CHPW scans:

Great write up. It's always interesting hearing about how these freeways got built. This freeway has two of my favorite interchanges, The Judge interchange and 101/110 four level. I've always been intrigued. *if* they ever decide to replace that one day I would love to see it deconstructed in segments and preserved somewhere.

There's a project to improve the express lanes by extending(I'm being very generous with that word) them to terminate directly into Adams Ave with two alternatives one being a new bridge.

Title: I-110 Los Angeles

I know there's a thread for this but searching all over and going through 20 pages 3 times I give up. Please forgive and merge if one exists.

Anyways, I'm posting this because part of it is shut down in south Los Angeles due to a tunnel fire:

Furthermore I really wish they'd widen or at least modernize it with the same amount of lanes.

Search works if you limit your query to the thread title, as that narrows it down enough.

Well, thank you for whoever emerged this thread and I don't know that because I went through 20 pages on the sub forum and somehow I missed it.

Why is it always homeless camps? That happened on I-10 too a few years ago.

Usually is when it comes to arson or accidental burnings in California .  A homeless person burned down three homes a half mile from me two years ago.  There was a group of them camped out on the railroad tracks.  Another camp up on Fancher Creek burned a couple restaurants last year.

Apparently this was an abandoned access tunnel that went under the freeway. At least it wasn't in DTLA this time.

I swear I saw this exact scenario in GTA V before.
