Construction finally begins this month on the Glendale-Hyperion Bridge
From The Eastsider: Renovations on the historic Glendale–Hyperion Bridge are set to begin this month, more than a decade after the project was first approved and following multiple delayed start dates.
The long-planned work, expected to take five to six years, will include realigning the I-5 northbound off-ramp so drivers can turn directly west. The project is now estimated at $208 million, down from earlier projections of $250 million.
