Interstate 710
Interstate 710 (I-710 - colloquially referred to as "The Seven-Ten") is a major north–south interstate freeway running for 23 miles (37 km) through Los Angeles County, California. Officially known as the Long Beach Freeway, it runs north from Long Beach to Alhambra following the course of the Los Angeles River for most of its route, rarely wandering more than a few hundred feet from the riverbed. South of SR 1 in Long Beach, I-710 is officially part of the Seaside Freeway.
Also called the Los Angeles River Freeway prior to November 18, 1954, I-710 has been planned since its inception to run all the way north to Pasadena, but the construction of the segment from Alhambra to Pasadena through South Pasadena has been delayed for several decades due to community opposition. Prior to 1983, the road was not an Interstate, although it was built to Interstate standards.[citation needed] Until 1964 it was State Route 15, but it was renumbered to State Route 7 in the 1964 renumbering because of the existence of Interstate 15, and to I-710 in 1983.
This route is part of the California Freeway and Expressway System.
