The Manhattan Beach Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard Intersection Improvement Project is funded by Measure R to alleviate traffic congestion at this intersection.
This intersection is located in an area of the City with limited on-street parking and moderately heavy pedestrian usage. The design and subsequent construction take into account the need for the lowest possible impact on the livelihood of the residents, visitors and business owners.
Sepulveda Boulevard is State Route 1 through the City of Manhattan Beach and therefore, Caltrans is a partner in the review and approval of this project. Additional right-of-way were determined necessary during the Caltrans plan check and permitting process.
The proposed improvements include:
- Street widening at all four quadrants of the intersection
- Additional left-turn lanes in northbound, eastbound and westbound approaches
- Extension of median island along Sepulveda Boulevard at 11th Street
- New pavement, curb, gutters, sidewalks and driveways
- Modifying the existing storm drain catch basin and connector pipe to address drainage issues
- Signal, signing and striping layout
- Landscape/irrigation restoration and other appurtenant work
