Drivers traveling through Southern California will face significant nighttime delays as 405 Freeway construction and 605 Freeway maintenance projects prompt rolling lane closures and ramp shutdowns.
405 Freeway Nighttime Closures and Schedule
According to Caltrans, major road paving and concrete barrier installation projects are underway along the 405 Freeway through October 30 in the Sepulveda Pass area. Construction work takes place nightly from 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM.
Northbound lanes between Sepulveda Boulevard and Victory Boulevard will experience up to two lane closures. Further south, sections between Wilshire Boulevard and Skirball Center Drive/Mulholland Drive will see up to four lanes blocked, while the segment between Skirball Center Drive/Mulholland Drive and Sepulveda Boulevard will face up to five closures. The northbound Getty Center Drive on- and off-ramps will also be closed.
In the southbound direction, the Sepulveda Boulevard ramps and the Burbank Boulevard entrance ramp will be blocked. Additionally, transition roads connecting the northbound 101 Freeway to the southbound 405 Freeway, and the southbound 101 Freeway to the northbound 405 Freeway, will be restricted.
Speed limits within active work zones will be temporarily lowered to 55 mph. Officials warn residents and businesses near the corridor to expect construction noise, vibrations, and dust. This effort is part of a $143.7 million project to repair and upgrade the 405 Freeway between Van Nuys and Westwood.
605 Freeway Super 605 Project Restrictions
Simultaneously, Caltrans announced that nighttime lane closures will affect both directions of the 605 Freeway between Santa Fe Springs and Baldwin Park during the same period, with schedules varying by segment.
Between the 10 Freeway and Telegraph Road, up to two lanes in each direction will be closed nightly from 10:00 PM to 5:00 AM. Access ramps in this zone may shut down as early as 7:00 PM and reopen by 6:00 AM depending on field conditions.
Connectors from the 605 Freeway to the 101 and 60propertyPath east and west will also close during evening hours. Motorists are advised to utilize the 710 or 5 freeways as alternate detour routes.
