The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) announced an overnight full closure of the 210 Freeway in the San Fernando Valley this weekend for striping and staging of a temporary lane configuration for a paving project.
The overnight 210 Freeway closures are set to take place between 11 p.m. Friday, Aug. 12, through 6 a.m. Saturday, Aug 13, according to officials.
The closures include:
- Full closure of westbound 210 Freeway between Wheatland Avenue and State Route 118
- Westbound Wheatland Avenue Ramps
- Westbound Foothill Boulevard/Osborne Street ramps
- Westbound 210 Freeway to SR-118 connector
“Motorists will be detoured from Wheatland Avenue off-ramp to the Paxton Street
on-ramp,” officials said.
Some closures may start and end later. All closures are weather permitting and subject to change, according to officials.
Drivers should expect delays and are encouraged to check traffic conditions before leaving to their destination “visiting the Caltrans Quickmap.
The work on the 210 Freeway is part of a $135.5 million project replacing all lanes of the freeway with new pavement from Wheatland Avenue to the 5 Freeway.
This project is funded by Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.
Overhead sign structures, traffic loop detectors, center median barrier and the guardrail system are also being upgraded by this project.
Caltrans reminds drivers to be “Work Zone Alert” and to “Slow for the Cone Zone.”
Residents and local businesses located near the 210 Freeway may experience noise, vibrations and dust associated with construction activities.
