If youre traveling to Southern California the weekend of July 15th and July 18th, please be aware that the 405 will be closed in the West LA area.
This will have a massive impact on any and all traffic in the surrounding areas. The 405 is a major freeway running north south from Orange County and Long Beach, up through LAX Airport and West LA to the San Fernando Valley.
The 405 is one of the most congested highways in Southern California, so this closure will have a significant impact in and around the Los Angeles area.
According to the LA Times:
The 405 will be closed for 53 hours beginning the evening of July 15 and ending early the morning of July 18 — mostly for demolition work on the Mulholland Drive Bridge.
The northbound 405 will be closed for 10 miles between the 10 and 101 freeways, and the southbound 405 will be closed for four miles between the 101 Freeway and the Getty Center Drive exit. The work is part of a larger $1-billion freeway improvement project that includes constructing a 10-mile northbound carpool lane to complete what officials say is a network between Orange County and the San Fernando Valley.
The closure in July will allow crews to demolish the south side of Mulholland Bridge and then spend about 11 months doing bridge reconstruction on the south side. After that, crews will demolish the north side of the bridge, which will require another extended freeway closure.
