New Year, New Construction, Same Old Traffic!
According to the LA DOT, we are in for a special New Year treat! January 7 will begin shutdowns of the 210 Bridge. This will affect both the East and West sides of the interstate, reducing them to 1 lane on each side. The DOT says that the closures will only happen nightly Monday-Thursday, and will only start at 9pm to open back up by 4am the next day.
That is a whole lot of roadway to open and close each day/night, so if you are headed in either direction, it's going to get a bit chaotic during your drive.
Don't panic, the DOT has provided a handy dandy map to show you the detours. You're gonna wanna pack some snacks for their suggestions. however.
