405 Freeway Closure Prompts Emergency Responders to Plan Ahead

CARMAGEDDON: 405 Freeway Closure Prompts Emergency Responders to Plan Ahead

As Valley commuters plan for traffic congestion when crews tear up and rebuild a section of the 405 Freeway in mid-July, public safety agencies are teaming up to handle potential problems arising from the lack of freeway access.

Starting just after midnight July 15, the San Diego (405) Freeway will be shut down in both directions from Getty Center Drive to the 101 Freeway for 53 hours, so that the south side of the Mulholland Bridge can be demolished.

The freeway section is expected to reopen at 5 a.m. July 18, according to Metro officials.
