Interstate 5 Carpool Lane from Route 134 to Route 170

Santa Clarita and San Fernando Valleys major bottleneck

• The I-5 is one of the busiest corridors connecting Mexico with Canada and this section connects the major employment centers of the Santa Clarita and San Fernando Valleys with the greater Los Angeles area.

• Currently several Carpool lanes projects to the north of this project area will be completed and this critical segment will provide relief to almost ¼ million commuters between Santa Clarita and Los Angeles.

Strategic Link in San Fernando Valley Carpool lane network

• This 10 mile segment of Carpool lanes in each direction along the I-5 freeway will provide greater reliability and access between the Burbank Media Center, Burbank Airport, Downtown Santa Clarita and Downtown Los Angeles.

• This strategic link includes the modification of the Empire Avenue intersection to a full diamond interchange, the re-alignment and elevation of the Metrolink commuter railroad adjacent to the freeway and the construction of a railroad grade separation.
