After the onramp from Bixel Street and prior to the Olympic Boulevard offramp, southbound SR 110 passes over Ninth Street. This bridge identification marker, which places the date of bridge construction at 1953, also labels the route number as SR 11. This designation ceased to be used in 1984, which means this bridge identification sign has been in use at least since then and needs to be updated to the correct designation of SR 110. 08/26/07

Traffic merging back to Interstate 110 south must merge left. Stay left for the link to Interstate 10 east (shield was missing from the overhead guide sign at the time this picture was taken). Stay right for Interstate 10 west and Washington Boulevard. 08/26/07
The transition ramp splits. Stay left for Interstate 110/Harbor Freeway south and Interstate 10/Santa Monica Freeway east to Pomona, San Bernardino, Indio, and Phoenix. The right three lanes depart for Interstate 10/Santa Monica Freeway west to Santa Monica and Washington Boulevard. 08/26/07
