Beware: Huntington Drive mess

Huntington Drive can be a nice shortcut from Pasadena/San Marino/South Pasadena into downtown L.A. Well, maybe a little less so for the next few weeks:

Traffic on westbound Huntington Drive will be down to one lane during the morning rush hour for about a month starting today, San Marino police reported. Heavy traffic is expected on Huntington Drive between St. Albans and Old Mill roads during repairs to an underground sewer line, said Sgt. Robert Cervantes of the San Marino Police Department. The construction is slated to last until the end of May, according to Cervantes, who urged motorists to seek alternative routes. (CNS)
