Heads up for commuters who use the 210 Freeway in the Arcadia area, there are going to be some significant closures tonight to accommodate construction on the Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension.
Here are details about closures tonight into Wednesday morning:
[O]n-ramps at Rosemead Blvd, Michillinda Blvd, and Baldwin Ave to the eastbound I-210 Freeway will be closed at 9:00 p.m. Starting at 11:00 p.m., there will be partial lane closures of up to three lanes on the eastbound I-210 Freeway. Beginning at midnight, all lanes of the eastbound I-210 Freeway will be closed until 5:00 a.m., at which time two lanes will re-open. All lanes will re-open by 6:00 a.m.
During the closure, traffic will be diverted onto Foothill Boulevard.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
