I-105 Directional Freeway Closures – Overhead Signage Removal

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.

Work crews are anticipated to implement directional full freeway closures for two nights on the I-105 between Vermont Av and S Central Av on the nights of January 30 & 31. Advance lane reductions will take place prior to each closure. During this work, overhead signage will be removed to support construction and to accommodate the new ExpressLanes and project improvements.
