Walnut commuters who use Interstate 10 should be prepared for some evening closures this week.
The California Department of Transportation will close portions of the San Bernardino Freeway for construction of a $165 million High Occupancy Vehicle lane project, according to a news release.
The project, expected to be completed this summer, involves adding an HOV lane in each direction of the I-10 between Interstate 605 and Puente Avenue. Caltrans will post detour signs.
Caltrans released the following schedule, which is subject to change:
