I-405 Improvement Project Wins 2024 ENR California Best Projects Award

We are thrilled to announce that Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA)’s I-405 Improvement Project has been honored with a 2024 Best Projects Award in the Highway/Bridge category by Engineering News-Record (ENR) California, one of the top accolades in commercial construction.

As the design lead for OCTA’s I-405 widening project, Lochner played a pivotal role in enhancing one of Southern California’s busiest highways. This $1.9 billion design-build project improved lanes, interchanges, and bridges, boosting safety and traffic flow for the community.

We’re excited that the project is now eligible for national recognition and are grateful to have been part of the team behind this important initiative. Congratulations to everyone involved in making this project a success!
