Exclamation 405 Freeway Closure - SevenStock Weekend!

Just a friendly reminder that Carmageddon Round 2 is scheduled for SevenStock weekend so if you were planning on taking the 405, please plan to take an appropriate detour.

The demolition of the north side of Mulholland Dr Bridge has been scheduled for Saturday, September 29 and Sunday, September 30, 2012. As with the demolition of the south side of the 608-foot-long bridge, the I-405 through the Sepulveda Pass will be closed in both directions that weekend to allow for demolition.

As with the south side demolition, Metro and Caltrans are concerned that closing the freeway will result in severe congestion on the I-405 and adjoining freeways, perhaps effecting freeways throughout the region. Motorists throughout the State of California are asked to “Plan Ahead, Avoid the Area, or Eat, Shop and Play Locally.”
The remainder of the announcement can be read: I-405 Sepulveda Pass Improvements Project | Mulholland Dr Bridge Demolition & Reconstruction




Here's a detour map: (high res version available at the link above)

What a mess... thankfully, shouldn't impact the 210.

yeah, they'll start shutting it down Friday night and it'll be a cluster f*ck all weekend because people forget.
Nearby freeways won't be much fun either so I figured we'd get the word out there.

Good thing I'm heading up to SS on friday morning.

not going to be that big of a deal. Last time they closed it everyone made it seem like the whole LA County was going to shut down. Traffic on other freeways wasn't any different to me.
