Here’s the latest construction notice for the I-405 Sepulveda Pass Widening Project.

The contractor is planning to take soil stability tests needed for the future construction of retaining walls along the I-405.  Work is planned beginning Monday, March 22 for about four days near the Getty View Trailhead that runs along the northbound I-405 freeway between Getty Center Drive and Skirball Center Drive.  Work will be conducted at night and will require some freeway lane closures and ramp closures to ensure the safe use of the excavation equipment.  Here’s the full details:
