Additionally, the left-turn lane on the southbound 605 Freeway off-ramp to eastbound Arrow Highway will be closed until April 18 to accommodate widening of the off-ramp. The right-turn lane will remain open.
All corresponding on and off-ramps will be closed sequentially as work progresses. No two consecutive ramps will be closed at the same time.
Closures will be updated live on Caltrans quick maps.
The closures will provide room for excavation, concrete work, asphalt paving, k-rail placement, striping, guardrail work, sign removal and installation, and electrical and drainage work.
The work is just one part of the “Super 605 corridor project,” aimed to repair the 605 from Long Beach to the San Gabriel Valley.
