  Interstate 710 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The failure to complete the Long Beach Freeway has contributed to traffic congestion in northeastern Los Angeles and the northwestern San Gabriel Valley, as there are no north-south freeways in the heavily populated area between Interstate 5 (Golden State Freeway) and Interstate 605 (San Gabriel River Freeway).
In 1965 the route was truncated to State Route 1 in Long Beach; the part from SR 1 south and west to State Route 47 was deleted, and the rest from SR 47 west to State Route 11 (now Interstate 110) became part of SR 47.
The existing freeway from SR 1 south to Ocean Boulevard was taken over by the state on August 25, 2000 in a trade with the City of Long Beach for former State Route 103 north of SR 1.

 Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles: From the Executive Director
Environmental activists and community groups have opposed the freeway expansion plans for a host of reasons, among them a further deterioration of air quality for nearby residents, and the potential loss of hundreds of homes, schools, parks and businesses.
Because residents have made their opposition clear, transportation officials have formally shelved the U.S. 101 freeway expansion plan and opted to focus on alternative strategies to relieve congestion in the corridor as a whole, while continuing to push for the expansion of I-710.
Furthermore, even were new or expanded freeways capable of solving the traffic congestion problem, the increased capacity would result in unacceptable increases in noise and air pollution and greater aesthetic effects on nearby communities.
