Drivers traveling through the I-5 Castaic closure area in northwestern LA County should prepare for significant delays as lanes and ramps close for road maintenance.
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) announced that repaving work will take place in both directions from Hasley Canyon Road to about one mile south of Vista del Lago Road.
On November 15, up to two lanes will be closed in both directions from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following morning. From November 16 to 19, up to three lanes will be shut down nightly from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM.
Ramp closures will also affect motorists. On November 15, northbound ramps at Lake Hughes Road will close at 5:00 PM, while southbound on-ramps and off-ramps will close at 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM respectively. Templin Highway ramps and the southbound truck brake inspection facility off-ramp will also close during similar evening hours.
During the November 16–19 period, closures will expand to nightly schedules from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM for Lake Hughes Road, Templin Highway, and the truck brake inspection facility.
Caltrans officials noted that the project aims to replace aging concrete pavement, upgrade guardrails, and repave the roadway to improve driving conditions and worker safety.
