I-405 Freeway Closures Between Getty Center Drive and U.S. 101 Planned for Four Nights, Beginning Oct. 25

The schedule for this week’s full directional freeway closures in support of the I-405 Sepulveda Pass Improvements Project has been revised.  These closures will now begin tomorrow night, Tuesday, October 25, 2011, and last approximately four nights. 

The full directional I-405 freeway closure will be between Getty Center Drive and U.S. 101 during the late night hours to perform needed bridge and freeway sign replacement work. 

Each night, ramps within the freeway closure limits may begin to close as early as 7 p.m. and freeway lanes will begin to close as early as 10 p.m., leading up to the full directional freeway closure between 12 a.m. midnight and 5 a.m.
