Red Hill Avenue bridge partially reopens
The Red Hill Avenue bridge over the 405 Freeway has partially reopened to traffic, but portions of the span are expected to remain closed until July.
Two lanes — one in each direction — opened on the bridge earlier this month.
The California Department of Transportation completely closed Red Hill between Pullman Street in Costa Mesa and Main Street in Irvine on Aug. 29. The closure was necessary so workers could reinforce the earth under the approach ramp on the Costa Mesa side and build new retaining walls, officials said.

Laguna Art Museum to offer free admission
The Laguna Art Museum will offer free admission to all Laguna Beach residents Sunday through March 31 as “a gesture of gratitude” for a matching grant program the City Council approved in March to help support the museum and the Laguna Playhouse, according to a museum news release.
The program enabled the museum and the playhouse to apply for grants matching fundraising of up to $250,000 per year for four years to use toward capital improvements. The museum’s first major improvement under the program was a new heating, ventilation and cooling system, the release said.
The Laguna Art Museum is at 307 Cliff Drive, Laguna Beach. For more information, visit lagunaartmuseum.org.
