Topline:
All northbound lanes of the 101 Freeway in Agoura Hills will be closed for five hours each weeknight starting Wednesday for continuing construction on the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing.
Why it matters: The lanes will close at 12 a.m. Monday through Friday and reopen by 5 a.m. the next morning. Except on Saturdays, when they’re expected to reopen a bit later.
Why now: Crews will be placing girders, which are 103-foot-long boxes of reinforced concrete, to support the crossing’s horizontal reach over the northbound side.
