Route description
Alondra Boulevard's western terminus is at Vermont Avenue and 161st Street in the city of Gardena just west of the Los Angeles city limits. It passes major streets like Long Beach Boulevard, Avalon Boulevard, Alameda Street, Atlantic Boulevard, Lakewood Boulevard and Valley View Avenue. After crossing La Mirada Boulevard (County Route N8) at the Buena Park–La Mirada line, it continues east, straddling the city limits for a couple residential blocks, before crossing completely into La Mirada and becoming Calverton Drive.
The street passes over Interstate 110 and Interstate 5 but does not have interchanges with them. Previously, Alondra Boulevard had an entrance at Interstate 5, but this was removed in 2014 with the widening of the freeway. Alondra Boulevard also had an interchange with Interstate 110, but this was replaced with the Redondo Beach Boulevard interchange in the 1980s.[1]
Compton/Woodley Airport is situated along Alondra Boulevard.[2]
History
The Alondra Avenue concrete T-beam bridge which crosses over the San Gabriel River in Bellflower was constructed in 1952 and was rehabilitated in 1972.[3]
