405 Lane Closures Planned as Construction Continues

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 101 freeway to the Getty Center Dr. ramps, weather permitting. Each night, ramps within the freeway closure limits may begin to close as early as 7:00 pm and freeway lanes will begin to close as early as 10:00 pm, leading up to the full directional freeway closure between the hours of 12:00 am, midnight, and 5:00 am. The table below provides details of the
anticipated closure schedule:

March 8: Southbound I-405 freeway from the 101 freeway to Getty Center Dr. (freeway lanes closures staring at 10:00 pm).

March 12 & 13: Southbound I-405 freeway from the 101 freeway to Getty Center Dr. (freeway lanes closures staring at 10:00 pm).

March 14 & 15: Northbound I-405 freeway from Getty Center Drive to Ventura Blvd. (freeway lanes closures staring at 10:00 pm).

Sepulveda Blvd. 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 www.metro.net/405. Emergency access will be maintained at all times.
