The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s board of directors criticized the planned expansion of the southern end of the 710 Freeway Thursday but declined to stop pursuing certification of the project’s environmental documents that have come under scrutiny from state and federal transportation officials.

A motion by Director Hilda Solis sought to cease further work to advance the environmental documents while continuing early-action improvements that were part of the 710 project but the board instead voted to suspend work on the project’s environmental review while Metro tries to reimagine the project.
The Metro board in 2018 approved a $6 billion plan to widen a 19-mile stretch of the freeway that would have added a lane in both directions along the entire length of the freeway from Long Beach to East Los Angeles.
