The I-405 Sepulveda Pass Improvements contractor is on schedule with Northbound I-405 paving work between Montana Avenue and Getty Center Offramps. Earlier this morning, the contractor completed grinding the pavement in this 2.5-mile area, and is now paving lanes. Striping work and K-rail shifts will follow as work continues today.

With extended delays now occurring on the 405 as a result of lane reductions in the area, motorists are reminded to avoid this part of the 405 and seek alternate freeway routes. Monitor traffic conditions at Caltrans Quickmap web site.
