What you should know about Hollywood Way.
Hollywood Way is best known for serving as Burbank's principal north-south corridor connecting Interstate 5, Victory Boulevard, Magnolia Boulevard, Verdugo Avenue, Alameda Avenue, and Empire Avenue, while providing direct access to Hollywood Burbank Airport, major studio campuses, neighborhood commercial districts, and residential communities throughout the city. The corridor emerged during Burbank's early twentieth-century expansion following the city's incorporation in 1911, becoming increasingly significant after the establishment of United Airport, now Hollywood Burbank Airport, in 1930, which transformed Hollywood Way into one of the city's primary transportation approaches. The City of Burbank continues improving Hollywood Way through pavement rehabilitation, intersection modernization, ADA sidewalk reconstruction, traffic-signal coordination, bicycle safety enhancements, and utility upgrades because the corridor serves airport traffic, studio employees, neighborhood businesses, and regional commuters. Hollywood Way also functions as the principal surface access route to Hollywood Burbank Airport, linking passenger terminals, rental-car facilities, airport businesses, and regional transportation infrastructure with Burbank's broader street network.
Hollywood Burbank Airport fronts Hollywood Way along its eastern boundary, making the corridor the primary roadway serving passenger terminals, airport administration, aviation businesses, and supporting transportation facilities. Warner Bros. Studios Burbank is reached directly from Hollywood Way via Riverside Drive, reinforcing the corridor's importance in serving one of the world's best-known film and television production campuses. Burbank Airport-North Metrolink Station is accessed directly from Hollywood Way, integrating the corridor with Metrolink Ventura County Line and Amtrak Pacific Surfliner services while strengthening regional multimodal connectivity. Metro Bus Line 222 operates along substantial portions of Hollywood Way, supporting daily travel between airport facilities, employment centers, neighborhood commercial districts, and surrounding residential communities.
