I-405 Pavement Rehabilitation Project
Big picture view:
This is all part of the I-405 Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Van Nuys and Westwood. The $143.7 million project aims to improve safety and mobility along the heavily-trafficked freeway and extend pavement life.
Caltrans officials said extended weekend lake closures and reductions will happen about every two weeks along various sections of the 405.
The schedule is subject to change depending on weather or operational reasons.
Residents and businesses near the construction zone may experience noise, vibrations, and dust associated with the construction activities.
