The Brief

    • Caltrans will conduct overnight closures on the 91 Freeway from Cerritos to Gardena from Jan.12-16.
    • The closures are part of a sign rehabilitation project.
    • The project is set to be completed by summer 2029.

LOS ANGELES - Beginning Monday, 91 Freeway commuters can expect overnight closures for a nearly 15-mile stretch of the freeway for a sign rehabilitation project.

What we know:

The closures will impact areas from Cerritos to Gardena from Monday, Jan. 12 through Friday, Jan. 16 to install k-rails as part of a sign rehabilitation project. 

The eastbound lanes of the freeway will be reduced to two lanes overnight between Vermont Avenue in Gardena and the 605 Freeway. Meanwhile, the westbound lanes will also be reduced to two lanes between Vermont Ave. and the 605 Freeway. 

"There will be rolling overnight full closures at connectors and ramps at the contractor moves," Caltrans said. "Detour routes will be marked." 

The $34 million project is set to upgrade roadside and overhead signs, lighting, as well as the restoration of highway plantings, replacement of guardrail and improvements for worker safety.
