California Aims to Avoid ‘Carmageddon’ Freeway Closure

Abstract:

The section of Interstate 5 (I-5) connecting Los Angeles and San Francisco is scheduled to be closed for 36 hours in both directions starting on April 25 for construction workers to tear down a bridge to widen the freeway and add a pair of carpool lanes. This will be the largest freeway closure in Los Angeles since September 2012 when I-5 was closed in both directions, which was known as Carmageddon. As they did in 2012, transit officials will be posting freeway signs warning people to exit I-5 before they get to Burbank and take alternate routes.
