Caltrans will close portions of the Foothill (210) Freeway in Pasadena, La Crescenta and La Canada Flintridge beginning Monday evening as part of a pavement rehabilitation project.
Residents and businesses located near the freeway may experience noise, vibrations and dust associated with the work, Caltrans officials warned, although water trucks will be used to minimize dust during the work. Noise levels are not expected to exceed state and federal regulations.
