Rebuilding LA's 10 Freeway after earthquake and intentional fire: A transit opportunity
TL;DR Summary
The 1994 Northridge earthquake severely damaged the 10 Freeway in Los Angeles, causing the collapse of two bridges and disrupting the city's key east-west traffic corridor. In an impressive feat of round-the-clock construction, the Santa Monica Freeway was reopened in less than three months, providing a crucial boost to the city's recovery efforts. The recent fire that damaged the same freeway has drawn comparisons to the 1994 earthquake, prompting officials to emphasize the need for urgent repairs. The extent of the damage and the timeline for repairs are currently unknown.
