More Sunset Boulevard closures planned for 405 construction

More closures and detours are planned beginning Friday as workers reconstruct all approaches to the Sunset Boulevard bridge that spans the 405 Freeway in West Los Angeles. The work is part of the reconstruction of the southern side of the bridge, which was demolished in July 2010.

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority said local road and ramp closures were now necessary so that workers could raise the street intersections and utilities to meet the new height of the bridge's south side. Work will also be done to prepare for the demolition and reconstruction of the bridge's northern side.

Two phased day-and-night closures will run from Friday to Oct. 14 and from Oct. 15 to Oct. 29. For details, see the website for the 405-Sepulveda Pass project.
