Motorists traveling southbound on the San Diego (405) Freeway through the Sepulveda Pass will face extended lane reductions over a September weekend, Caltrans announced Tuesday.
Southbound lanes will be reduced to three between Ventura Boulevard and Mulholland Drive from 10 p.m. Friday, Sept. 11, through 5 a.m. Monday, Sept. 14, according to Caltrans.
Motorists were urged to use alternate routes or public transportation during the work. Northbound lanes will not be reduced, although one northbound off-ramp will be closed.
The closures will include the Ventura Boulevard on-ramp to southbound 405, the southbound 405 off-ramp to Valley Vista Boulevard/Sepulveda Boulevard and the Valley Vista Boulevard/Sepulveda Boulevard on-ramp to southbound 405.
The northbound freeway off-ramp to Getty Center Drive will also be closed.
Caltrans cautioned that the schedule is subject to change due to weather or operational conditions. Residents and businesses near the construction area may experience noise, vibrations and dust.
The work is part of the $143.7 million 405 Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Van Nuys and Westwood through the Sepulveda Pass. The project is intended to improve safety and mobility and extend the life of the freeway pavement.
