Heads Up: The 405 South Is Closing Tonight

You might want to avoid the 405 South tonight.
Metro is closing all southbound lanes through the Sepulveda Pass this evening for construction from the 101 to Getty Center. Lane closures will start at 11 p.m. and the whole thing will be shut down from 2 a.m to 7 a.m.
Metro also warns that Sepulveda will be slammed as a result.
Might as well stay in the Valley.
