The 710 north of the 10 is referred to as the 710 Stub and dead ends at Valley Boulevard.
CURRENT MAJOR ISSUES
Congestion on eastbound I-10 encourages through-traffic to use the 710 stub as a shortcut.
Some Fremont Ave.-bound traffic bypasses the backup by using I-710 northbound to Valley Blvd. This creates cut-through traffic through Alhambra’s residential neighborhoods.
Cars entering eastbound I-10 from northbound 710 cross with traffic exiting onto the Fremont off ramp. This crossing movement causes backups on I-10.
The configuration of the 710 stub as a 6-lane freeway introduces high-speed traffic immediately adjacent to Alhambra neighborhoods, creating noise impacts on residents.
The design of the signalized intersection at the end of the 710 stub results in congestion on Valley Blvd.
