Cerritos : Final Sound Wall Planned
The City Council last week awarded a $1.2-million contract to Los Angeles-based Modern Alloys to build the final 1/2-mile stretch of freeway sound walls in the city. The 14-foot-high wall will be built behind homes on Brookhaven Avenue on the south side of the Artesia Freeway between 183rd Street and Carmenita Avenue.
Since the early 1980s, the city has spent more than $8 million to build an estimated 4 1/2 miles of walls along the Artesia and San Gabriel River freeways to cut down on traffic noise.
