The 710 north of the 10 is referred to as the 710 Stub and dead ends at Valley Boulevard.
CURRENT MAJOR ISSUES
The weave bottleneck at the I-10/I-710 interchange and the deficiencies at Fremont Ave. create congestion on eastbound I-10.
Congestion on eastbound I-10 in turn causes backup on northbound I-710 south of I-10.
The congestion on both freeways encourages cars to use the 710 stub as a bypass, which brings cut-through traffic through Alhambra.
The configuration of the 710 stub as a 6-lane freeway introduces high-speed traffic immediately adjacent to Alhambra neighborhoods, creating noise and other environmental impacts on residents.
The close spacing of the two signalized intersections at the end of the 710 stub results in congestion on Valley Blvd.
