As of Sunday afternoon, the 101 Freeway's weekend closure has ended, and all lanes are open again, Caltrans District 7 announced on Twitter.
The closure was for construction work on the new Sixth Street Viaduct project east of downtown Los Angeles. Crews removed temporary frame supports that have held up bridge arches.
