The four-lane northbound freeway will be shut down from Parkway Calabasas west to Las Virgenes Road from midnight Sunday evening to 5 a.m. Monday.
Traffic will be detoured on the two-lane frontage road, known as Calabasas Road, and then will cross to the northern side of the freeway via Mureau Road.
Those roads have one westbound lane, and traffic can be expected to back up.
Better detours from L.A. to Ventura County include Pacific Coast Highway through Malibu, or state routes 118 and 23 through Simi Valley and Moorpark.
Caltrans announced the closure Sunday on Twitter. Southbound traffic will not be restricted.
