Local News in Brief : Beverly Glen Blvd. to Close
If you commute between the San Fernando Valley and the city’s Westside, expect an already bad drive to get worse.
Beverly Glen Boulevard, the most heavily traveled cross-mountain route between the Hollywood and San Diego freeways, will be closed for two months, beginning June 20, for resurfacing and storm drain improvements.
The work will pour an additional 2,300 cars per hour during peak periods to other, already congested cross-mountain routes, most likely the San Diego Freeway, Coldwater Canyon Avenue and Laurel Canyon and Sepulveda boulevards.
Meanwhile, related construction work will begin May 2, when crews close Valley Vista Boulevard between Beverly Glen and Van Nuys boulevards to start work on the storm drain project. Commuters who use Valley Vista to reach Beverly Glen will be diverted to Moorpark Avenue and Ventura Boulevard until Beverly Glen is closed. Valley Vista will remain closed until the work on Beverly Glen has been completed.
City traffic engineers will make other temporary changes to Valley streets to ease the congestion.
