Caltrans work to close part of San Diego Freeway

Be sure to avoid this headache when the southbound San Diego Freeway (the 405) closes from the Ventura Freeway (the 101) to just south of Sepulveda Boulevard from midnight to 4 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 10.

It's for that Caltrans project at the freeway interchange to extend a lane on the northbound San Diego Freeway past the Greenleaf off-ramp to the Ventura Freeway connector.

The project should be done by the end of this month, start of September-ish, Caltrans officials said.
