The northbound 5 Freeway north of the Santa Clarita Valley is set to have lanes closed on weeknights for pavement work.
Crews with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) are set to close several 5 Freeway lanes north of Santa Clarita on weeknights through mid-October.
“The I-5 project will grind the surface of concrete slabs in northbound and southbound lanes to provide a smoother ride and extend the life of the pavement,” said a statement from Caltrans. “The project includes replacement of some concrete slabs.”
