The three-lane wide tunnel was opened in 1930, and is used today as an alternative to the parallel San Diego (405) Freeway, now under reconstruction.

Sepulveda Boulevard is also being used as an overflow route for traffic displaced by the Coldwater Canyon Avenue closure on Mondays-through-Saturdays.
