Five weekend overnight closures on the eastbound Pomona (60) Freeway in Diamond Bar were set to get underway Saturday.
According to the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments, all lanes on the eastbound side of the freeway will be fully closed between Lemon Avenue and Diamond Bar Boulevard during overnight hours each weekend in August.
“The closures are necessary to safely accommodate ongoing construction activities and advance improvements designed to enhance safety, improve traffic flow and reduce congestion at one of the region’s most heavily traveled and hazardous freeway interchanges,” according to an SGVCOG statement.
The closures will occur from 12:01 to 6 a.m. Saturdays and from 12:01 to 8 a.m. Sundays this weekend, and on Aug. 8-9, 15-16, 22-23 and 29-30.
In addition, the following closures will also be in effect.
— the northbound Orange (57) Freeway connector to the eastbound 60 Freeway; and
— the eastbound 60 Grand Avenue on-and off-ramps.
The Grand Avenue Bridge will experience partial lane closures, but will remain open, officials said.
