Los Angeles County supervisors have approved a $2.7 million construction contract to seismically retrofit the Sixth Street off-ramp over Shoreline Drive.
The $2,708,671 project is a part of the federal Highway Bridge Program, which funds 88.53 percent of the costs. The remaining 11.47 percent of the cost of the project will be financed with state Proposition 1 B funds.
Additional funding was provided by the Fourth Supervisorial District's Road Construction Program.
"By retrofitting this bridge, both the drivers and pedestrians who use the bridge will benefit by crossing a safer bridge," said Supervisor Don Knabe in a prepared statement.
Construction should begin in December, and the estimated completion dated is July 2009.
