BRENTWOOD—Night commuters can expect road closures on the I-405, specifically on the Sepulveda Pass, for an ongoing pavement rehabilitation project conducted by the California Department of Transportation. There will be a round of major delays this week as the new pavement project continues, designated to bring fresh new lanes, ramps, and connector closures to the 405.
The K-rail barrier walls along the corridor will begin installation by Caltrans crews on Monday, July 13. This installation is considered the latest phase of the extensive paving that has been underway since last year.
The speed limit will be lowered to 55 mph to accommodate heavy machinery. Operations for this project are scheduled for 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. this week from July 13 until Friday, July 17. Motorists can expect closures both north and southbound on the 405.
Up to two lane closures going northbound on I-405 include Sepulveda Boulevard to Victory Boulevard, Wilshire Boulevard to Skirball Center Drive/Mulholland Drive, and Skirball Center Drive/Mulholland Drive to Sepulveda Boulevard.
Northbound ramp closures include the Getty Center Drive off-ramp, Sepulveda Boulevard on-ramp, and Burbank Boulevard.
Two lane closures going southbound on I-405 include Victory Boulevard to U.S. 101 and Skirball Center Drive/Mulholland Drive to Wilshire Boulevard.
Southbound U.S. 101 to Skirball Center Drive/Mulholland Drive is expected to have a three-lane closure.
Both the northbound U.S. 101 connector to southbound I-405 and the southbound U.S. 101 connector to southbound I-405 will be closed.
Commuters are encouraged to take alternative routes such as U.S. 101 or local canyon passes to avoid unexpected delays during the construction time window.
