Topline:
Driving through the Sepulveda Pass could get even slower. Overnight closures along the 405 Freeway begin Monday as crews work on a pavement rehabilitation project.
What to expect? Overnight closures begin July 14 through July 18 between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.
Up to two lanes on the northbound and southbound sides of the 405 Freeway between Wilshire Boulevard and Mulholland Drive/Skirball Center Drive will be closed, according to Caltrans.
The northbound side closure will last one more evening, ending on July 19.
Why now? The work is part of a $143 million Caltrans project to repave portions of the 405 Freeway between Van Nuys and Westwood.
How to get around this: Caltrans will place signage along the detour routes for drivers. Detour routes will also be posted on social media.
