For drivers navigating through U.S. Highway 101 in Encino, two lanes will be shut down from Reseda Boulevard to Hayvenhurst Avenue. Working their way through these closures, on top of the already present restrictions due to weather or burn scar-related incidents, will be a challenging feat. On Interstate 405 at Sepulveda Pass, closures will include two lanes on northbound I-405 from Wilshire Boulevard to Getty Center Drive as well as the on-ramp to southbound I-405 from Sepulveda Boulevard, which will also see a right lane closure leading to U.S. 101, as per KTLA.
In Long Beach, Interstate 710 will see lane and ramp closures, such as the PCH on-ramp to northbound I-710 and one lane on both northbound and southbound sections between PCH and Wardlow Road. The Pacific Coast Highway is affected as well, with the right lane of northbound PCH from I-710 to State Route 103 closed for the night, disclosed Caltrans District 7 in a post.
