Agoura Road will close twice over the coming days near the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing construction site in Agoura Hills to allow crews to perform bridge work and a concrete deck pour, Caltrans announced Tuesday.
The full closures are scheduled from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Wednesday, Aug. 19 on Agoura Road between Rondell Street and Hydepark Drive.
No through traffic, including motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians, will be permitted through the work zone during the closures, according to Caltrans.
Drivers should expect delays and follow posted detours via the Ventura (101) Freeway between Chesebro Road and Liberty Canyon Road.
Free shuttle service will be available every 30 minutes from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. for pedestrians and cyclists traveling around the closure area, Caltrans said. Eastbound shuttles will operate between Dorothy Drive and Chesebro Road and Liberty Canyon Road and Agoura Road, while westbound shuttles will operate in the opposite direction.
Bus stops within the closure area will be temporarily relocated during the work, officials said.
The closures will allow crews to safely continue construction of the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing, a bridge spanning the 101 Freeway that is designed to reconnect wildlife habitat separated by the freeway and provide a safe crossing for mountain lions, deer, bobcats and other animals.
Caltrans said the closures are weather permitting and subject to change.
