This week in 1953 the SR-110/US-101 “4-Level” interchange first opened to traffic. Video below from 9/19/19. Watch for a scheduled segment on the 4-Level on the Almanac portion of the CBS Morning Show this Sun. 9/22/19. @CountyofLA@LACity@CaltransHQ
Urban movement and grace. Ribbons of concrete, weaving traffic through #DTLA, moving the Angeleno hither and yon.
Happy 66th anniversary, lovely 4-Level.
Watch @CBSSunday for a quick shout-out.

As we head into days of very busy travel on our roadways, I suggest you leave as early in the day, as possible. Leaving in late afternoon or early evening will put you in the heart of jammed commutes. Keep it tuned to @KNX1070 for #traffic on the 5s. Our tip line 323-467-1070.
@ScottABR @amollenbeckKFI @johnandkenshow Actually, those Oreos were a treat that I paid for out of my own pocket. Hope @amollenbeckKFI got to have one.
