Empire Avenue Interchange in Burbank was open to traffic on September 30, 2019, and the removal and reconstruction of Burbank Bridge is scheduled to start in February 2020.

CCO 235 authorizes up to $1.5 million for the abatement of the referenced conduits. Contract modifications exceeding $500,000 require Board authorization per the Staff Delegations.
