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.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
