| 摘要： | A videotape which documented the Northridge earthquake damage and the subsequent reconstruction effort is commented on in this keynote address by the Secretary of the Business, Transportation and Housing Agency of the State of California. Some of the points made are as follows: A major earthquake hit Southern California at 4:30 a.m. on January 17, 1994. Segments of major freeways in the Los Angeles area suffered major damage. Sixty people died in the earthquake, and thousands more were injured. By 11:00 a.m., demolition contractors were already working. After 84 days and $30 million, the Santa Monica Freeway was restored to normal working conditions. It took months to get I-5 back in operation. Repairs to all the freeways should be completed by the end of 1994. The media and other sources provided strong encouragement to the public to take public transit or carpool to help alleviate congestion, and commuters responded in a positive manner. New Metrorail stations were developed to help meet the demand on rail service. Special HOV detours were developed that provided significant travel time savings. The quick, coordinated reaction to this disaster is just another example of the good working relationship that exists among transportation agencies in the Los Angeles area. |
