Northbound 405 Closes Overnight

The northbound San Diego (405) Freeway will be closed just before its interchange with the Ventura (101) Freeway late tonight, and is to reopen early Sunday, Caltrans officials said today.

Northbound 405 traffic will be diverted to the east or west Ventura Freeway, and can also exit onto Sepulveda Boulevard at the Ventura Boulevard exit, a spokesperson said.

Bridge maintenance work was planned above the northbound 405, and that would apparently include the ramp from the eastbound Ventura Freeway to the 405 north.

Southbound 405 traffic was not expected to be affected.

Detour signs on surface streets were to be posted, and the northbound 405 was to reopen by 5 a.m. Sunday.
