405 ramp closures in West Los Angeles

 

There is now news of more closures around the 405. There will be a forthcoming closures of the Wilshire Blvd. on- and off-ramps in Westwood: In November, construction will commence on two ramps, then move to the next two ramps and so on until work is done on all eight ramps. The ramps will be closed for 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for 14 to 90 days each. 

The closures are part of the same project that shut down the 405 in July--the $1 billion project that will add a 10 mile northbound carpool lane to the 405. The plan also includes improvements that will turn the Wilshire Blvd. ramps into "modern, swooping flyover ramps that will make it easier to navigate the notoriously jammed intersection."
