LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — The final part of the San Diego (405) Freeway overhaul begins Thursday night with a 90-day closure of the eastbound Wilshire Boulevard on-ramp.
KNX 1070’s Jon Baird reports the existing on-ramp to the northbound 405 Freeway will be demolished and replaced with one that can handle more than three times the capacity.
“It’s the last gap in the carpool lane here on the Westside of LA and when we’re done, we’re going to have a continuous carpool lane from Orange County and the valley in both directions,” Sotero said.
The eastbound Wilshire on-ramp will close at 10 p.m. Thursday.
Drivers were advised to use alternate routes, including:
– SB Sepulveda Boulevard to WB Santa Monica Boulevard to the 405
– Sepulveda to WB Pico to Cotner Avenue to the 405
– Federal Avenue and Westwood Boulevard to Santa Monica to the 405
