And the 405 is officially liberated

That’s the scene as of a couple minutes ago as traffic on the northbound 405 rolled under the Mulholland Drive Bridge with horns a-honkin’ — led by a big-time escort by the CHP and Caltrans vehicles (below). The southbound lanes should be open in the next hour or two. The screen capture was taken from KCBS’ live-cam.

UPDATE: 11:40 p.m. The southbound lanes are now open, too. Have a great morning commute!
