Pavement on Harbor Scenic Drive has reached the end of its useful life and must be replaced. The Harbor Scenic Drive Roadway & Infrastructure Improvements Project will reconstruct the road, a heavily used thoroughfare that connects the 710 Freeway with several Port terminals as well as hospitality businesses in the Harbor District. Preliminary plans also call for roadway alignment improvements, changeable message signs, highway lighting and utility upgrades to improve safety and traffic flow. Input gathered from the public during the meeting will inform project design, which is now in its early stages.
