Metro, in collaboration with Caltrans District 7, the Gateway Cities Council of Governments (GCCOG), and the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG), is advancing the development and implementation of the I-605/Valley Boulevard Interchange Improvements Project (the Project) to alleviate operational deficiencies and improve mobility and safety at this location, consistent with the goals and recommendations of the SR-91/I-605/I-405 Hot Spots Program.
