San Diego (405) Freeway Sepulveda Pass Improvement Project
The contractor is scheduled to implement additional full directional freeway closures in order to further construct the falsework structure for the Mulholland Bridge. The falsework structure is designed to facilitate the reconstruction by providing temporary support to the bridge. Bridge girder plates will be temporarily placed above each bridge span and across each direction of the freeway roadway. The directional full freeway closures will be from the Ventura (101) Freeway to the Getty Center Drive ramps and are scheduled for six nights beginning Friday, March 2, weather permitting.
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 the hours of midnight and 5 a.m.
The following provides details of the anticipated closure schedule:
Friday, March 2 and Saturday, March 3 – Northbound I-405 freeway from Getty Center Drive to Ventura Boulevard (freeway lanes closures starting at 10 p.m).
March 5 and March 6 – Southbound I-405 freeway from the 101 freeway to Getty Center Drive (freeway lanes closures starting at 10 p.m).
March 12 and March 13 – Southbound I-405 freeway from the 101 freeway to Getty Center Drive (freeway lanes closures starting at 10 p.m.) between the Getty Center Drive ramps to the 101 freeway.
The construction is to support the reconstruction of the Mulholland Bridge.
Sepulveda Boulevard will remain open during the nights of the full directional freeway closures and will be used as a detour route. Detour maps are available at http://www.metro.net/405.
