City Street Closures -- Underpass Barrier Removal

Summary: 

As part of the I-105 ExpressLanes Project, work crews anticipate the implementation of a series of full city street closures at the I-105 to support the reconstruction of several underpasses along the corridor to perform new roadway pavement construction to accommodate the new ExpressLanes and project improvements on the freeway.  The anticipated schedule for the street closures is as follows: 

• Work activities include the removal of the outer edge barrier of the freeway underpasses, restriping of traffic lanes on City streets, and the installation k-rail (concrete barriers) at several locations.   

• Multiple street closures will not take place simultaneously. 

• Additional daytime work (6:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and intermittent nighttime work (7 p.m. to 6 a.m.) is also scheduled at these locations and is expected to continue through mid-2026. 

What to Expect:  

• Occasional sidewalk closures at these underpasses may be necessary. Pedestrians will be notified in advance with signage and safely rerouted around the closures.  

• Access for pedestrians and cyclists will be maintained throughout construction. Contractor crews will be on-site during construction to ensure safe passage and manage pedestrian flow.  

• Crews will access the work zones from the freeway, local streets and areas behind k-rail(concrete barriers). 

• Additional full streets closures will be implemented in the future throughout the duration of construction.  

• Intermittent freeway lane reductions and ramp closures may be necessary to safely perform certain construction activities.   

• Metro bus lines along Avalon Bl and San Pedro St may be rerouted during the times of street closures. For information changes to Metro service, please call 323.GoMetro.  

Noteworthy: 

• Construction is dynamic and schedules of work activities are subject to change.
