Connectors to I-605 and I-10 Freeways Scheduled to Close Friday

The north and southbound lanes on the connectors to Interstates 605 and 10 will be shut down for two weekends while construction crews conduct pavement and drainage work, Caltrans officials said.

The first closure is scheduled to start at 10 p.m. on Friday (July 18) and run through 5 a.m. Monday.

The schedule is subject to change. Caltrans crews plan to post detour signs.

Both connector closures are expected to last for an estimated 55 hours each. They are part of the I-10 High Occupancy Vehicle, or HOV/carpool, project, Caltrans officials said.

Flatiron West, Inc. is the contractor on this $165 million project, which will add an HOV lane in each direction of I-10 between I-605 and Puente Avenue.

Caltrans anticipated the project to be completed by sometime this summer, according to a news release.
