LONG BEACH - The California Department of Transportation plans to close the eastbound Artesia (91) Freeway connector to the northbound Long Beach (710) Freeway  from 9 p.m. today to 6 a.m. Friday.

Closed for repairs since a fatal truck crash on Saturday damaged concrete and guardrails, Caltrans reopened the connector to traffic at 9 p.m. Wednesday.

Tonight's work involves clean-up on the outside of the bridge. Additional repairs include replacing drainage pipe damaged by the fire but a schedule for that work has not yet been determined.

Further closures might be necessary and will be announced in advance, according to Caltrans.
