The 10 Freeway will be closed in both directions between the San Gabriel River (605) Freeway and Baldwin Park Boulevard between midnight tonight and 6 a.m. Saturday, according to Caltrans.
The closure will be repeated between 1 and 6 a.m. Sunday, then nightly from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. Sunday through Thursday.

The closures are being planned to accommodate the utility-relocation work as part of the reconfiguration of the 10-605 Freeway interchange. Caltrans is building a "fly-over" ramp connecting the southbound 605 to the eastbound 10 to improve the flow of merging traffic. The $66 million project is expected to be completed in fall 2015.
