Does the 405 Closure=Carmageddon?
Yes. Carmageddon is coming on July 16th thru 17th 2011. The northbound I-405 freeway will be closed for a 10 mile stretch starting at the I-10 freeway all the way to the 101. The southbound I-405 freeway will be closed from the Getty ramps to the 101 (approximately 4 miles) The demolition of half of the bridge in the sepulveda pass is part of a billion dollar project to widen the I-405. When it’s all said and through there will be a carpool lane connected from Orange County to San Fernando Valley. Carmageddon is scheduled to last about 53 hours.
There are approximately 500,000 cars that go through this section of the freeway on a typical weekend. Does that means 500,000 EXTRA cars of people are gonna be filtered through out the city? Will everywhere in LA be backed up making this a true carmageddon? Don’t be caught driving anywhere in LA July 16-17th.
