405 shutdown -- again
Consider this when planning your Cinco de Mayo weekend:
The southbound San Diego (405) Freeway will be closed on the Westside late tonight as crews work on widening it to build a carpool lane, Caltrans warned today. All lanes of the southbound freeway at Olympic Boulevard will be closed at 1 o’clock tomorrow morning. Detours will be posted, and the southbound 405 will reopen at 7 a.m. tomorrow. The closure is connected to a $50 million project to extend the carpool lane on the southbound freeway from Sunset Boulevard to the Santa Monica (10) Freeway. That project is expected to be completed this summer. Both sides of the 405 are also being widened from the Santa Monica Freeway south to the Marina (90) Freeway in Culver City. (CNS)
