“Not only will this project provide improved access into the City of El Centro, it allows our teams to make an impact on the community in which our Imperial Valley employees live and work.”

The project is expected to improve traffic safety by refurbishing the existing interchange and also reduce traffic congestion at Imperial Avenue and 4th Street interchanges on I-8 in El Centro city.
