Construction on the Artesia Freeway this week will force the closure of four ramps in Buena Park and La Palma.

Detours will be posted for the closures, which will be in place today, Thursday and Friday. The location and time of each closure are:

* The southbound Knott Avenue onramp to the westbound freeway lanes will be closed from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., while the onramp for northbound Knott Avenue will be shut down from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

* At Valley View Street, the offramp from the westbound lanes of the freeway will be closed from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

* At Orangethorpe Avenue, the offramp from the eastbound lanes of the freeway will be closed from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The closures are to make way for a 19-month-old improvement project that will add a carpool lane in each direction along an 11-mile stretch of the freeway that passes through five Orange County cities. The $180-million project is due to be completed in 2000.
