The westbound Interstate-210 (I-210) to the westbound State Route 118 (SR-118) connector in the San Fernando Valley is scheduled to undergo an extended weekend closure for paving work beginning Friday, which may affect travel for Santa Clarita commuters. 

The California Department of Transportation (CalTrans) announced the temporary closure of the westbound I-210 to the westbound SR-118 connector in the San Fernando Valley starting on Friday. 

The closure, beginning on Friday, May 13 at 10 p.m. through Monday, May 16 at 5 a.m., is expected to affect:

• Westbound I-210 to westbound SR-118 connector
• One lane closed between Osborne Street/Foothill Boulevard off-ramp and SR-118
• Westbound Paxton Street off-ramp

CalTrans is urging commuters to be “Work Zone Alert” and to “Slow for the Cone Zone.”

Road Repair and Accountability Act Funding

The closure is part of a series of a $135.5 million project replacing all lanes of I-210 with new pavement from Wheatland Avenue to I-5, according to CalTrans. The on and off-ramps, connectors and adjacent shoulders are also expected to be rehabilitated.

Residents and local businesses located near the freeway may experience noise, vibrations and dust associated with construction activities, according to CalTrans officials. 

All closures are weather permitting and are subject to change. Commuters should expect delays and are encouraged to check traffic conditions before leaving to their destination by visiting the CalTrans Quickmap, according to CalTrans. 

The project is funded through Senate Bill 1 (SB1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, CalTrans representatives said.
