Former California Highway 7, also known as the Long Beach Freeway.
The 710 Freeway has been unfinished for more than 30 years. The freeway is supposed to go from Long Beach to the stub end where
Interstate 210, and
SR-134 meet. However, the citizens of
South Pasadena have firmly halted any current plans of finishing the route. Personally, I don't like the idea of having a freeway going straight through my neighborhood either. However, the end result is the 1/4th mile stub end in
Pasadena and a prematurely ending freeway in
Alhambra on
Valley Blvd. which has caused nothing but traffic trouble since its completion.
CalTrans hopes to see the South Pasadena section built within a decade.
