Project Description
Del Amo Boulevard is located in the central portion of the City of Torrance. The limits of the proposed project are between Crenshaw Boulevard and Madrona Avenue/Prairie Avenue. The project site is currently a vacant right-of-way, surrounded by industrial and manufacturing uses, including the Exxon-Mobil refinery to the north and Dow Chemical to the south. The proposed project would complete the missing segment of Del Amo Boulevard between Crenshaw Boulevard and Maple Avenue and it would widen the existing segment of Del Amo Boulevard between Maple Avenue and Prairie Avenue. When constructed, Del Amo Boulevard will be a four-lane divided roadway within the project limits and provide an additional east-west route throughout the City. Construction also includes a new bridge over the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad tracks, drainage improvements and relocation of existing utilities.
Project Status
The City of Torrance certified the final Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Assessment EIR/EA in April 2004. The project's design plans were completed in December 2008. Construction is anticipated to begin in January 2010, and the project will be constructed in 2 phases. Phase 1 will construct the rerouting of two water pipelines and two sewer pipelines. Phase 2 will construct the new 4-lane divided roadway, bridge over the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad tracks, and other elements of the project.

Phase 2 - The City is finalizing an approval to obtain from the State of California an "Authorization to Construct (E-76)" because over $9M of federal funding will be used to cover construction costs. Of that amount, $7M is from the Regional Surface Transportation Program, and the remainder of federal funds is from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Economic Stimulus funds). The E-76 must be obtained prior to advertising for construction bids. It is anticipated that Phase 2 will be advertised for bid in Spring 2010.
