Most of the freeway is fairly level as it passes through residential and business areas. I saw the two long elevated sections around Fairfax Drive that had new decks; these were heavily damaged in the 1994 earthquake. I-10 south of downtown L.A. is on an elevated viaduct. There is a short 4-lane tunnel about 1/4-mile-long at the west end connecting to the Pacific Coast Highway. The highway is mostly 8 lanes.

Eastbound, near Santa Monica.

Eastbound, just south of the downtown. Snowcapped mountains are barely visible in the background.
