I-5 Widening Project in Glendale and Burbank


Caltrans is improving the I-5 in Glendale and Burbank between State Route 134 and Buena Vista Street. There will be a Community Open House for the I-5 Widening Project on Wednesday, September 26, 2018, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Burbank Community Services Building (150 N. Third St., Burbank). Caltrans will provide a project update and talk one-on-one with attendees.

The I-5 Widening Project in Glendale and Burbank will enhance safety, improve traffic flow, reduce congestion, encourage ridesharing, decrease surface street traffic and improve air quality. Learn more about the project at My5LA.com.
