Two Weeks Of Nighttime 405 Freeway Closures Heading Your Way

LOS ANGELES, CA — The upcoming series of nighttime San Diego (405) Freeway closures aren't quite Carmageddon, but things are bound to get unpleasant anytime the 405 Freeway is shut down.

Drivers can expect 15 full nights of partial and full directional closures of the San Diego Freeway near Los Angeles International Airport starting July 31. The closures are part of the construction of a bridge for the Crenshaw/LAX Line light rail project, Metro announced Monday.

The closures will only take place on weekdays. They will include overnight full or partial directional closures from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Monday to Friday.

The scheduled closures include:

• The northbound lanes will be completely closed between Century and La Tijera boulevards from July 31 to Aug. 4.
• Partial closure of the northbound and southbound high-occupancy vehicle lanes and the 1 and 2 lanes from Aug. 7 to Aug. 11.
• The southbound lanes will be fully closed between the La Cienega off-ramp and La Tijera on-ramp Aug. 14 to Aug. 18.
