A special congratulations to the City of El Segundo Public Works Department, with special recognition to City Engineer Cheryl Ebert and her team, for their award-winning work on the El Segundo Boulevard Improvement Project!

The American Public Works Association (APWA) recently named the El Segundo Boulevard Improvement Project as the 2024 Best Project of the Year award winner in the "Transportation Category.”

The El Segundo Boulevard Improvement Project was a significant infrastructure initiative that enhanced road safety and traffic flow. The improvements to El Segundo Boulevard benefit the larger community as it is a major thoroughfare for both residents and commuters traveling through the City, and is home to commercial properties and aerospace campuses, including the L.A. Chargers headquarters and practice facility, known as “The Bolt.” Read all about this project and award here. 

Construction has begun on the southwest corner of Imperial Highway and Main Street for the installation of the new gateway sign. The project is anticipated to be completed by the end of this year.

The design concept is an “old-time postcard inspiration” and draws from the City’s rich history. It will include bold, clean and modern features, inviting visitors to explore all that El Segundo has to offer.

Included in the installation are repairs to landscaping and irrigation and new electrical connections. The project schedule may change due to weather, or other unforeseen external factors.
