A stretch of the Long Beach (710) Freeway will be closed for another 54 hours this weekend as Caltrans continues work on a pavement-replacement project.
According to Caltrans, the northbound 710 will be closed between the Santa Ana (5) and Pomona (60) freeways from 10 p.m. Friday until 4 a.m. Monday. The closure will be repeated on five more upcoming weekends, with the exception of Nov. 11-14 and Nov. 25-28.
Caltrans officials urged motorists to avoid the area and use the Harbor (110) or San Gabriel River (605) freeways as alternates.
Crews will be placing a series of concrete slabs as part of the pavement- replacement project.
The work is part of a $120 million pavement-replacement project on the 710 Freeway between the Century (105) and San Bernardino (10) freeways. The project is expected to be completed next year, according to Caltrans.
