Tomorrow, the Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority (ACTA) plans to mark the completion of the $107 million Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) Grade Separation, a half-mile bridge that extends the highway over the Alameda Corridor in Wilmington, Calif.

Similar to the corridor, the bridge was completed on time and within budget, ACTA officials said in a prepared statement. The authority initially planned to complete the project by April.

A portion of the PCH has been closed since June 1, when ACTA began widening the highway from four to six lanes and eliminating the last grade crossing on the 20-mile corridor. The grade separation is designed to reduce traffic congestion from west of the Terminal Island Freeway to Coil Avenue.

ACTA managed the project's design and construction under an agreement with the California Department of Transportation, which provided $79 million in funds (ACTA and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority each contributed $14 million).
