FLETCHER DRIVE BRIDGE TO UNDERGO TWO YEAR SEISMIC RETROFIT

The Fletcher Drive Bridge is currently undergoing a two year seismic retrofit, which started in early April. According to the construction crew and onsite signage, the retrofit project currently in construction is part of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act Fletcher Drive resurfacing project, which will resurface Fletcher between I-5 Freeway and Casitas Ave.

However, very little is known about what the seismic retrofit project actual entails, the exact project timeline or what impact (if any) it will have on the community. Furthermore, absolutely no advance notice was given to area residents or business owners about either the bridge seismic retrofit or resurfacing project. And an effort to obtain more detailed information thru L.A. Council District 13 (CD13) has proven surprisingly difficult.

CD13’s Atwater Village field deputy, Angela Motta, has provided a limited “April Construction Activity Report” (click here to download report, PDF file) but has been unresponsive to requests for more detailed information.
