I-710 – Central Av: Directional Freeway Closures

Metro has a plan to ease traffic and enhance safety on the I-105, which includes the conversion of the existing High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane, or carpool lane, into two Metro ExpressLanes in each direction on the I-105.  Work crews are starting construction in the Segment 2 area, between I-710 and Central Av, with an anticipated completion in 2029.  

Work crews are anticipated to perform directional full freeway closures on the I-105 over seven nights, beginning on Friday, November 6, along the I-105 between the I-110 to Garfield Av. During each night advance lane reductions will take place prior to the directional full closure. These closures are required to facilitate freeway lane restriping for the start of construction in this area. 

Work Hours and Locations: Please note that freeway closures will occur at different locations as needed throughout the scheduled timeframe. Multiple closure locations listed for the same date and time will not be closed simultaneously. Detour maps are available below. 
 

What to Expect:  

• To safely perform this work, corresponding ramps will be closed to perform these work activities.    
• Additional future work activities will follow the striping work, which will include the installation of concrete barriers, tree and landscape removal at select locations, and outer roadway grinding work among other activities 
• Subsequent intermittent nighttime lane and ramp closures will occur for future construction activities.  
• Advance signage will be in place to notify motorists of detours, as well as freeway and lane closures. 

Noteworthy: 

• Traffic control measures and advance signage will be in place to safely guide motorists through the work area. 
• Please note that work schedules are subject to change based on the progress of work and weather conditions.
