Closures Scheduled on Ventura Freeway
Construction will continue this weekend on the Ventura Freeway, causing the closure of several lanes and ramps, Caltrans officials said Thursday.
From 10 o’clock tonight to 8 a.m. Saturday, Caltrans will close two eastbound lanes between Fulton and Colfax avenues, two westbound lanes between Colfax and Whitsett avenues, and the eastbound and westbound Laurel Canyon Boulevard ramps.
Laurel Canyon Boulevard and Colfax and Whitsett avenues, between Moorpark Avenue and Riverside Drive, will also be closed tonight while workers install new freeway bridge railings above them.
From 11 p.m. Saturday to 11 a.m. Sunday, Caltrans will close three lanes between Laurel Canyon Boulevard and Hazeltine Avenue, the westbound Coldwater Canyon on- and off-ramps, and the westbound Woodman Avenue on- and off-ramps.
Caltrans advised motorists to use Ventura Boulevard as an alternate route during the closures and to call Caltrans’ 24-hour toll-free hot line, 1-800-CALL VIP, for more information.
