Starting tonight, three eastbound lanes of the 134 Freeway will be closed in Pasadena between North Rafael Avenue and Orange Grove Boulevard.
Why are the lanes closing?
Caltrans is installing a safety inspection platform on the east side of the bridge over the Arroyo Seco.
Allison Colburn, a spokesperson for Caltrans, says that crews are working the whole week to get the bridge up to federal safety standards by improving the barrier and fence height.
The location in East Hollywood is the fourth official crosswalk to replace Crosswalk Collective LA's "unauthorized" efforts. Other DIY crosswalks have been removed by city officials.
