Caltrans Announces Foothill Freeway Ramp Closures in Pasadena

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has announced the partial or full closures of two ramps along Interstate 210 in Pasadena on July 1 and 2. The closures are part of a project to upgrade the freeway’s accessibility features.

The affected ramps include those at Hill Avenue and Allen Avenue. Caltrans assured that no two consecutive ramps will be closed simultaneously to minimize disruption. The work will take place from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on both days, impacting various ramps along the stretch.

These closures are intended to allow for several improvements to the highway’s accessibility features as part of the 210 ADA project. During this period, workers will upgrade curb ramps, install Accessible Pedestrian Signal systems, add pedestrian countdown timers, and re-stripe crosswalks.

These temporary closures are part of ongoing efforts to enhance the safety and accessibility of California’s highway system. The improvements aim to benefit pedestrians and drivers alike, particularly those with disabilities who rely on accessible infrastructure.

Caltrans advises motorists to plan for extra travel time and to stay alert in work zones. The department also encourages drivers to check their QuickMap website for real-time closure information before embarking on their journeys.

The California Department of Transportation has not provided specific details about the duration of the overall project or any potential future closures beyond the announced dates. Drivers who frequently use I-210 in this area should stay informed about possible additional work in the coming weeks.
