Some major night closures on tap

Overnight closures are coming to the 405 Project this week.

The entire southbound 405 Freeway will be closing from Sunset Boulevard to Santa Monica Boulevard for overnight work on Monday and Tuesday, Dec. 2 and 3. That work will be followed on Wednesday, Dec. 4, with the overnight closure of all lanes of the northbound 405 from Santa Monica Boulevard to Moraga Drive.

Metro is providing detour details and other information about the closures in separate construction notices, one for each night of work. Click here for Monday, here for Tuesday and here for Wednesday. Travelers, take note: ramp closures will start as early as 7 p.m., with freeway lanes closing starting at 10 p.m. and reopening by 5 a.m. the following morning.

Construction workers will be restriping lanes each night as part of the effort to widen the freeway.

Work on the long-running project, to construct a 10-mile northbound carpool lane along with other improvements, is 85% complete, but some construction is expected to continue into next year.
