Overnight lane closures are on tap beginning Friday evening on the Glenn Anderson (105) Freeway in Los Angeles to make way for express lane project work.
The installation of express lanes, which are expected to cut travel times by at least 50%, will involve construction crews closing lanes between Vermont and Central avenues on Friday and Saturday, according to Metro.
Eastbound lanes will be closed from Vermont Avenue to Main Street between 10:30 p.m. Friday and 6 a.m. Saturday, and westbound lanes will close between Central Avenue and the Harbor (110) Freeway from 10 p.m. Saturday to 5 a.m. Sunday.
According to Metro, the first segment of the project will open in time for the 2028 Summer Olympics, “boosting regional mobility for the Games while delivering lasting benefits for everyday travelers.”
The project will add two express lanes in each direction of the freeway by converting existing carpool lanes, according to Metro.
