BEVERLY HILLS/HOLLYWOOD HILLS—Caltrans has announced that work on curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements on Santa Monica Boulevard near Interstate-405 and Centinela Avenue. There will be overnight lane closures as a result of the construction work. Work will take place from 7 p.m. thru 6 a.am. starting Sunday, June 21 thru Friday, June 26.

The project will make multimodal upgrades along State Route 2 (SR-2) consisting of rehabilitating sections of pavement along three segments of in West Los Angeles, Hollywood and Echo Park to enhance safety and improve mobility at the following locations:

A. Santa Monica Boulevard between Centinela Avenue and I-405 in West Los Angeles (where construction started in October 2025).

B. Santa Monica Boulevard between La Brea Avenue and U.S. 101 in Hollywood (construction has not yet started).

C. Alvarado Street/Glendale Boulevard between northbound U.S. 101 on/off-ramps and northbound SR-2 terminus in Echo Park (construction started in October 2025).

In Segment A of the project, there will be about 1.4 miles of designated bus priority lane in each direction of SR-2. The project also includes upgrading traffic signal poles and curb ramps as well as installing bicycle racks, bicycle and pedestrian signage and transit stop improvements on all three segments.

This project will enhance the safety and mobility along SR-2 between West Los Angeles and Echo Park as well as sustainably extend the pavement life. The modifications will also preserve the environmental, scenic and aesthetic qualities of the SR-2 corridor. Caltrans will oversee the rehabilitation of segments of pavement in each direction of SR-2 from Centinela Avenue to the northbound SR-2 terminus in Echo Park, resulting in the restoration of about 20 lane miles overall. Additionally, implementation of approximately 2.8 total miles of designated bus priority lanes in Segment A, upgrades to the existing 25 traffic signals and about 230 curb ramps, and reconstruction of about 35 transit stops are also part of the project.

The project started in Fall 2025 and is expected to be completed by Fall 2028.
