LA Mayor Karen Bass thanked Fire Chief Crowley for coordinating the effort and "reducing the future risk of a similar incident."
The 10 Freeway reopened on Nov. 19 after a fire started in an underpass near Alameda Street had it shut down.
Drivers faced more than a week of detours in the area that led to delays on nearby freeways and streets as crews worked around the clock to reopen the lanes.
“As I said two weekends ago, the reason the 10 Freeway was safe and drivable for commuters this month, as opposed to next month, was the brave actions of our firefighters the night of the fire. Now, we must continue our work to keep Angelenos safe," said Mayor Bass.
