Caltrans will implement closures starting Monday night for a pavement rehabilitation project, with a temporary pause for World Cup traffic.
Commuters traveling through the Sepulveda Pass next week should prepare for overnight delays as transportation officials implement extensive lane and ramp closures for a highway repaving project.
Caltrans crews will begin installing concrete K-rail barriers and conducting survey work along Interstate 405 starting Monday night, June 22. The nightly restrictions will run from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. through Friday morning, June 26.
To prevent gridlock during the World Cup matches, officials will suspend all construction activities between 5:00 a.m. Thursday and 5:00 a.m. Friday on the stretch of the 405 operating between Lakewood Boulevard and U.S. Route 101.
For safety during active paving operations, Caltrans will reduce the legal speed limit to 55 mph across designated sections of the southbound 405.
Motorists navigating the construction zones will encounter intermittent closures on the following schedule:
Northbound I-405 Closures
- Wilshire Boulevard to Skirball Center/Mulholland Drive: Single-lane closures, along with a complete shutdown of the off-ramp to Getty Center Drive.
- Skirball Center/Mulholland Drive to Sepulveda Boulevard: Single lane closures, alongside a complete shutdown of the Sepulveda Boulevard on-ramp.
- Sepulveda Boulevard to Victory Boulevard: Single lane closures, including a complete shutdown of the Burbank Boulevard off-ramp.
Southbound I-405 Closures
- Skirball Center/Mulholland Drive to Wilshire Boulevard: Single lane closures.
- Victory Boulevard to U.S. Route 101: Double lane closures.
- U.S. Route 101 to Skirball Center/Mulholland Drive: Up to four lanes will close overnight, significantly restricting traffic flow through the heart of the pass.
