Project Spotlight: 710 Freeway

Sully-Miller Contracting Co. broke ground on the 710 Freeway SR710 project in July of 2009.

This project is a critical improvement to the Alameda Corridor, stretching from the 105 Freeway north to Firestone Blvd.  This 2-year project also crosses the Los Angeles River. Scheduled to have a minimal impact on traffic, our crews will be working both days and nights, and ten consecutive 55 hour weekends.

The work includes removal of concrete pavements, and the installation of new center medians, guard rails, retaining walls, overhead signs and asphalt pavement. Blue Diamond Materials will be supplying the asphalt materials with aggregates from United Rock Products.

Overseeing the work is Project Manager Travis Clausen, Project Superintendent Arnulfo Aguirre, Project Engineer Mauricio Arreola, and Project Foreman Juan Lizama.
