Caltrans Warns Commuters About Overnight Freeway Closures
POMONA (CBS) — The westbound Pomona (60) Freeway again was partially closed early Tuesday so crews could proceed with the demolition of the fire-damaged Paramount Boulevard bridge in Montebello.
Westbound traffic was diverted at San Gabriel Boulevard and allowed to return to the freeway at Markland Drive while eastbound traffic from Wilcox Avenue to San Gabriel Boulevard was restricted to one lane, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The freeway was scheduled to fully reopen in both directions at 5 a.m. -- a sequence that will be repeated again Wednesday, or until the westbound side of the bridge is down.
