Decking on Wilshire Bl at Gayley Av (Stage 2 of 4) 

Decking is a process where the street is excavated at a depth of about 10 to 12 feet and deck beams are installed over the piles. Concrete precast deck panels are installed over the deck beams to create a temporary street surface for vehicles and pedestrian access. This work allows for construction activities to continue below the surface of Wilshire Bl and help reduce community impacts.
