ALT1:... that two accidents on the Dosan Ahn Chang Ho Memorial Interchange, which led to hours-long closures, occured 11 years apart in the same location? (Source: "The accident occured on the eastbound transition road from the Santa Monica Freeway to the Harbor Freeway at about 7:15 p.m., authorities said, and traffic was snarled for several hours" -–The Valley News / "A sticky, icky, tar-like oil spill closed a downtown freeway interchange for 17 hours after a tanker-truck tipped over Sunday evening, dumping heavy crude oil onto a transition road from the Santa Monica Freeway to the southbound Harbor Freeway." –Los Angeles Times)
Overall: Just one minor issue, last sentence in "Layout and design" could do with a reference. For ALT0, it's very interesting and good to go. For ALT1, same! Mujinga (talk) 17:08, 20 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
Okay, so I added a reference to this I removed the link to the Bob Hope Patriotic Hall and replaced it with Staples Center, which is clearly visible on the maps used in the reference in question. If this is insufficient I could possibly replace it with this source, a draft of the bid book the City of Los Angeles prepared for the 2024 Summer Olympics and where multiple venues are mentioned as being near both freeways. --Sky Harbor(talk)23:57, 20 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
