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.
Overnight closures along the 405 Freeway are set to begin July 14.
