Presentation on 405 Freeway project slated for Huntington Beach

The Orange County Transportation Authority and the California Department of Transportation will hold a presentation Tuesday in Huntington Beach about the 405 Freeway renovation project.

The free event will be from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Senior Center in Central Park, 18041 Goldenwest St.

The $1.9-billion project covers a 16-mile stretch of the 405 between the 73 Freeway in Costa Mesa and the 605 Freeway near the Los Angeles County line. It includes building one new general-purpose lane in each direction between the 605 and Euclid Street and adding a new lane in both directions between the 605 and the 73 that, combined with the existing carpool lanes, will create “express” toll lanes much like those on the 91 Freeway.

Officials broke ground on the project in January and expect to complete it in 2023.
