OCTA Approved $675M Loan for I-405 Project

On Monday, June 26, the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) approved a federal loan for $675 million with the U.S. Department of Transportation, coming through the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act. This completes the financing needed for the county’s biggest capital project ever, according to the Orange County Register.

The $1.9 billion project, will add one general-purpose lane in each direction on the I-405 between Interstate 605 and Euclid Street, and a second lane in each direction to be combined with an existing carpool lane to create the 405 Express Lanes between I-605 and State Route 73 to reduce highway traffic. In addition to building new lanes, this project includes constructing 18 bridges and improving access to highway and traffic on surrounding streets.

The low-interest loan will save OCTA about $300 million which the county plans to use on other critical projects such as, improvements to the 55 freeway or Interstate 5 in the San Clemente area. The entire loan will be repaid using tolls from the 405’s new express lanes.

The I-405 Express Lanes will be the first project in California to use the tolling authority provided last year under AB 194 that ensures excess toll revenue is used to fund improvements on public transportation. Other funding sources included; $89.7 million in state funds; and $45.6 million in federal funds.

Completion of the I-405 project is expected sometime in 2023.
