Interstate 110 (Harbor Freeway) begins beyond Gaffey Street. The right two lanes of Gaffey Street become northbound Harbor Freeway, with a connection to SR 47 (Vincent Thomas Bridge) available in the far right lane. A pedestrian overcrossing doubles as an arch wishing visitors to "come back to San Pedro soon." San Pedro is not its own city; it is actually a community within the city of Los Angeles.

09/28/08

Northbound Interstate 110 (Harbor Freeway) and SR 47 (Seaside Freeway) split at Exit 1A. SR 47 travels east via the Vincent Thomas Bridge to Terminal Island, the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.

Looking at the impossibly high transition ramps of the 105-110 interchange, this view shows the transition ramp from the high occupancy vehicle lanes on westbound Interstate 105 to northbound Interstate 110.

02/15/04

Now descending from such heights, the high occupancy vehicle lanes from westbound Interstate 105 enter northbound Interstate 110 on the left so as to merge with the Interstate 110 high occupancy vehicles. The skyline of downtown Los Angeles is visible in the distance.

The right two lanes will connect to Exit 16, Manchester Avenue. Until the late 1990s, Manchester Avenue was signed as SR 42, even though it was removed from the legislative state route system many years prior. However, when Interstate 105 was completed, SR 42 was no longer needed as a state highway, and it was turned back to the cities it passed through. Remnants of the old designation are still clearly visible on this sign located along northbound Interstate 110/Harbor Freeway approaching Exit 16, Manchester Avenue.

07/13/09

The Transitway (high occupancy vehicle lanes) approaches a bus ramp prior to the offramp to Manchester Avenue. The high occupancy vehicles become separated from the main lanes of the freeway, with connections back to the mainline between Exits 20-21.

09/25/05

Northbound Interstate 110/Harbor Freeway reaches Exit 20A, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive to Exposition Park.

07/13/09

Motorists along the high occupancy vehicle lanes have an array of their own options on the separated lanes. The left lane provides carpool only access to 39th Street, while the middle lane heads into downtown via Adams Boulevard and Figueroa Street. All through traffic should merge to the right lane to continue north on Interstate 110, which downgrades to SR 110 upon crossing the Interstate 10 interchange (Exit 21).

09/25/05

02/15/04

At the same time, through traffic leaves the segregated high occupancy vehicle lanes and merges onto northbound Interstate 110. The high occupancy vehicle lanes continue north, but they do not rejoin the freeway; instead, they head into downtown Los Angeles. There are plans to extend the high occupancy lanes further along Interstate 110 and SR 110, but that would be a costly endeavor.

Interstate 110 ends as the two right lanes exit onto Interstate 10; SR 110 continues north along the Harbor Freeway into downtown Los Angeles. The second largest city in the country, Los Angeles is the hub of Southern California and a major media market. Most movies made in the United States come from Hollywood, a community of Los Angeles. SR 110 now passes through what is arguably one of the most recognizable skylines in the country, due to its presence in many movies.
