The suggested detour for the closure is using Roxford Street through Sylmar, which runs in between the 210 Freeway and the I-5, according to Caltrans.

Traffic is expected to be impacted in the region, with Caltrans advising motorists to allow more time while traveling. 

The work on I-210 is part of a $135.5 million project replacing all lanes of I-210 with new pavement from Wheatland Ave to I-5. The on- and off-ramps, connectors and adjacent shoulders will also be rehabilitated. 

Overhead sign structures, traffic loop detectors, center median barrier, and the guardrail system will be upgraded. This project is funded by Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, according to Caltrans.
