710 Freeway to close again this weekend

Another weekend, another closure on the 710 Freeway.

A six-mile stretch of the freeway will shut down again this weekend from Bell to Downey as workers repair old pavement, the second weekend out of 10 that the freeway will close for construction.

The mix of full- and partial-freeway closures between Atlantic Boulevard and the 105 Freeway connector begins at midnight Friday and will last until Monday at 5 a.m.

Between midnight Friday and 6 a.m. Saturday, the freeway will be entirely closed in both directions as workers install movable median barriers to guide traffic throughout the weekend. The northbound side of the freeway will open at 6 a.m. Saturday as crews work on the southbound lanes.

Another full freeway closure will begin on Sunday at 11 p.m. and will remain in place until the freeway is fully opened in time for Monday morning traffic at 5 a.m.
