Beverly Glen Boulevard
Beverly Glen Boulevard is one of three major routes that connects
West Los Angeles to the
San Fernando Valley (the other two are the
405 Freeway and
Sepulveda Boulevard ).
It starts off at
Pico Boulevard in
West Los Angeles. It proceeds to intersect with major streets such as
Santa Monica Boulevard and
Wilshire Boulevard.
Century City and
Los Angeles Country Club are located near those two intersections, respectively. The corner of Beverly Glen Blvd and Santa Monica Blvd is under intensive construction.
Beverly Glen Blvd travels further north, intersecting with
Sunset Boulevard near
UCLA and entering the gated communities of
Bel Air. The hills that the boulevard passes through north of Sunset and south of
Mulholland Drive is known as
Beverly Glen. Beverly Glen is a wealthy section of Bel Air, filled with large homes and gated communities.
After passing Mulholland, Beverly Glen Blvd swerves west and passes through the exclusive homes in
Sherman Oaks. It eventually ends at
Ventura Boulevard in the south end of the Valley.
Beverly Glen Blvd south of Sunset is a four lane straight thoroughfare. North of Sunset, Beverly Glen Blvd becomes a windy two lane canyon road, and expands back to its previous status after Nicada Drive.
Beverly Glen Blvd is east of Sepulveda Blvd. When traffic on the 405 becomes unbearable, many commuters take Beverly Glen Blvd or Sepulveda Blvd instead, causing considerable congestions on both streets.
