The 405 South Will Be Closed Tonight in West L.A.

Heads up: the 405 South will be completely closed tonight between Sunset and Wilshire from midnight to 6 a.m. while crews work on widening the freeway.
Lane closures will start around 7.
Metro says you should take this detour:
From the Southbound I-405, exit at Sunset Boulevard, turn right to Northbound Church Lane, turn right Southbound Sepulveda Boulevard, turn right to Westbound Wilshire Boulevard, and turn right on to the Southbound I-405 on-ramp on Westbound Wilshire Boulevard.
Or just stay in the Valley.
