Closures of some lanes on the San Diego (405) Freeway through the Sepulveda Pass have been pushed back two weeks, Caltrans announced Tuesday.
The work was originally due to take place Aug. 8-11, but has been moved to the weekend of Aug. 22-25 instead. Caltrans did not give a reason for the change.
“The work will start at 10 p.m. Friday, Aug. 22, through 5 a.m. Monday, Aug. 25,” according to a Caltrans statement.
Three lanes in each direction will be closed. The closures on the northbound side of the freeway will reduce the number of lanes to three from Santa Monica Boulevard to just north of Sunset Boulevard.
The Santa Monica Boulevard on-ramp and the Wilshire Boulevard off-ramp will be closed along with the eastbound and westbound Wilshire Boulevard on-ramps to the northbound 405.
The Sunset Boulevard on- and off-ramps and the Sepulveda Boulevard/Moraga Drive off-ramp will all be closed.
Southbound lanes of the 405 will be reduced to three from just north of Sunset to eastbound Wilshire Boulevard.
The Sunset Boulevard/Church Lane on- and off-ramps and the westbound Wilshire Boulevard on-ramp to southbound 405 will also be closed.
“Extended weekend lane closures will occur about every two weeks along various sections of I-405 for approximately 25 weekends,” according to Caltrans.
The work is part of the $143.7 million, I-405 Pavement Rehabilitation Project between the communities of Van Nuys and Westwood.
