The latest step in the construction of the $588 million Sixth Street Viaduct replacement will force the closure of a stretch for the Hollywood freeway for more than two days.
The 101 freeway will close for 55 hours between Friday, April 30 at 10 p.m. and Monday May 3 at 5 a.m. to allow crews to work on two arches over the busy freeway.
The closure will also allow crews to complete other tasks, including weed and graffiti removal, guard rail and sign repairs, pavement repairs, pothole filling and repairing broken slabs in southbound lanes.
The projects will shut down a 2.5-mile section of from the 10/101 split to the 5/10/101 interchange just east of downtown Los Angeles. Motorists travelling west on the 60 freeway from the Pomona area will be diverted from the 101.
