One year ago, Congress defunded public media. Now that we're 100% community funded, please become a sustaining member or increase your existing membership today.

Caltrans announced overnight closures on some lanes and ramps along the 605 Freeway starting Monday to install concrete barriers.

The two right lanes of the northbound and southbound 605 Freeway from Katella Avenue to just before the 91 Freeway will be closed every night from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Three lanes on the northbound and southbound 605 Freeway south of the 91 will also be closed at the same time. The east and westbound connectors on the 91 Freeway to the north and southbound 605 Freeway connectors will also be closed from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m., as will off and on ramps from Katella Avenue to South Street. However, no two consecutive ramps will close at the same time.

Caltrans said detour signs will be posted, with commuters advised to find alternate routes on 710 or 5 freeways.

Caltrans is currently engaged in a project worth close to $300 million to fix the pavement on the 610 from Long Beach to the San Gabriel Valley.

The road closures are set to lift on Dec. 1.
