Caltrans is constructing a southbound truck between Lyons Avenue and State Route 14 and an extended northbound truck lane from the Newhall Pass.

Ramp closures connected with the project will be staggered, and detours will be signed. No unusual levels of dust, noise or vibration are expected. Closures are subject to change.

For the safety of the construction crew and motorists, be attentive to closures, slow for the cone zone and move over one lane where possible.

Closure information for this and other freeway projects is available on the Caltrans website.
