Advanced Utility Work: Sherman Wy to Arminta St Directional Closures

The East San Fernando Valley Light Rail Transit (ESFV LRT) Project will improve connections and access to crucial destinations while connecting transit users to the growing network in the San Fernando Valley. The Southern Segment of the project includes a 6.7-mile at-grade alignment that will operate in the center of Van Nuys Bl, from the Metro G Line Van Nuys Station to San Fernando Rd.

Summary
As part of the ESFV LRT Project, Metro’s contractor will conduct utility relocation work along Van Nuys Bl between Sherman Wy and Arminta St, as well as on nearby side streets. Work will take place on Mondays to Sundays at night and on weekends during the day. This work will require intermittent directional street closures for southbound and northbound Van Nuys Bl. Only one direction of the street will be closed at a time. A detour will be in place to guide traffic around the closure during work hours (see graphic for the route), and Van Nuys Bl will fully reopen during non-work hours. Activities will include utility installation operations such as duct bank, trenching, vault installations, traffic control implementation, concrete, paving and striping.
