Description: The entire length of I-110 (which ends at I-10), as well as SR 110 south of the Four Level Interchange with US 101, is the Harbor Freeway. The entire Route 110 connects San Pedro and the Port of Los Angeles with Downtown Los Angeles and Pasadena. I-110 is one of two 3 digit interstate designations to appear on opposite coasts. The Harbor Freeway begins at Gaffey Street in San Pedro, where it then travels mostly due north to the Santa Monica Freeway (Interstate 10) at a point south of downtown Los Angeles, where it becomes signed as State Route 110. I-110 is primarily within the city limits of Los Angeles, running right through South Central Los Angeles and the Harbor Gateway, a two-mile (3 km) wide north–south corridor that was annexed by the city of Los Angeles specifically to connect San Pedro, Wilmington and the Port of Los Angeles with the rest the city. The Harbor Freeway, along with the Long Beach Freeway, are the principal means for freight to get from the port of Los Angeles to rail yards and warehouses further inland. Its interchange with the Santa Monica Freeway is notoriously busy and congested, and the portions bordering Bunker Hill in northwest Downtown Los Angeles are choked with traffic at peak travel times. The Harbor Freeway is noted for its elaborate high-occupancy vehicle lane feature, with the HOV lanes elevated above the rest of traffic in many areas, constructed in 1994 by C.C. Myers, Inc.. Of particular note is the Judge Harry Pregerson Interchange, which contains the most elaborate network of direct HOV connectors in Los Angeles County. It includes a 7-story ramp that connects the Century Freeway's HOV lanes to the Harbor Freeway's northbound HOV lanes and offers splendid views of the entire Los Angeles Basin and the San Gabriel Mountains.The intersection with State Route 91 (formally known as the Edmund J Russ Interchange) is also fairly large. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_110_(California) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_...
