Sunset Bridge Reconstruction Closure Map showing detours.

The second phase of Sunset Bridge reconstruction work for the I-405 Sepulveda Pass Improvements Project is scheduled to begin October 15 and last for two weeks.

Work will require the weekday morning closure of the southbound 405 Sunset Boulevard freeway off-ramp beginning Monday, October 17.  Motorists will have to utilize freeway off-ramps at either Getty or Wilshire Boulevard between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. only during weekdays (See map).

The first phase of Sunset Bridge intersection work included efforts to raise other street intersections and utilities to meet the new height of the  bridge’s rebuilt south side. See earlier Source post on this work.

All the details are on the construction notice posted after the jump.
