Los Angeles - Caltrans announces extended weekend lane reductions along Interstate 405 (I-405) through the Sepulveda Pass.

- Sunset Boulevard to southbound I-405: Travel north on Church Lane, south on Sepulveda Boulevard, west on Wilshire Boulevard to the on-ramp to southbound I-405
Extended Weekend Lane Reductions will occur about every two weeks along various sections of I-405. There will be about 25 extended weekend lane reductions for this project. Due to weather or operational reasons, the schedule is subject to change including the times and dates of closures, the number of lanes closed and other details.
Residents and businesses located near construction may experience noise, vibrations and dust associated with construction activities. Please visit the Caltrans Quickmap for current road conditions.

This project will apply about $143.7 million toward improving the safety and mobility along I-405 between Van Nuys and Westwood as well as extend the pavement life.
