How the Sepulveda Pipeline Project Could Jam Up Your Evening Commute
Work on a a natural gas pipeline along Sepulveda Blvd. may cause rush hour lane closures at some of the Westside's busiest intersections.
LOS ANGELES, CA -- Motorists in West Los Angeles could run into some delays tonight and Thursday along a stretch of Sepulveda Boulevard as Southern California Gas Co. crews work around the clock to conduct pressure tests on a natural gas pipeline.
The Gas Co. has been conducting the tests, and replacing some pipeline sections, on the Sepulveda Boulevard line for weeks, but the work has been done only at night. But beginning at 5 p.m. Wednesday, crews will begin round-the- clock testing on the line, resulting in possible lane closures at Sepulveda's intersections with Wilshire and Pico boulevards through Thursday.
Motorists were advised to anticipate slower-than-usual traffic on Sepulveda. Digital signs and flaggers will be in place to direct motorists.
