Extended Westbound Lane Closures Near Prairie Av - Overhead Sign Installations
Summary: 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. Major construction for the first phase of the project, Segment 1 between Sepulveda Bl and Central Av, started in early 2025 and is anticipated to be completed in year 2028.
As part of these improvements, work crews will implement extended lane closures to support activities along the I-105 freeway to install overhead sign structures. This work represents the first in a series of installations, and supports the overall project improvements, including the implementation of the new ExpressLanes.
