HOLIDAY CLOSURE SCHEDULE: In observance of the Fourth of July holiday, there will be no closures scheduled on the I-5 project Friday, July 3 through Sunday, July 5. Nighttime closures will resume Monday, July 6.
FLORENCE AVENUE INTERCHANGE PROJECT
Dollison Drive (between Quinn Street and southbound I-5 on-ramp) and the southbound I-5 freeway on-ramp on Dollison Drive have been permanently closed. As an alternate, motorists are encouraged to access the southbound I-5 freeway on-ramp on Studebaker Road. In addition, a long-term closure of the southbound I-5 on-ramp on Florence Avenue began in April and will be in place through January 2018.
IMPERIAL HIGHWAY & PIONEER BOULEVARD PROJECT
This week crews began work on Union Street, between San Antonio Drive and Paddison Avenue, to complete the planned roadway improvements as part of the I-5 Improvement project. Union Street is being widened, sidewalks will be reconstructed and the street will become a cul-de-sac adjacent to San Antonio Drive. Access for local residents will be maintained at all times.
Crews are preparing to shift the southbound I-5 lanes of traffic (between Pioneer Boulevard and the Silverbow Avenue pedestrian bridge), onto new pavement along the widened, outside portion of the freeway. This traffic shift is scheduled to take place on Thursday night, July 9. In order to complete this shift, the southbound I-5 will be closed between Imperial Highway and Rosecrans Avenue. Motorists will be detoured to exit southbound I-5 at Imperial Highway and turn right, turn left on Pioneer Boulevard, turn left on Rosecrans Avenue and proceed straight to take the Rosecrans Avenue on-ramp to southbound I-5. More information will be provided once the schedule for this work is confirmed.
Construction activity is ongoing with several sound walls along the northbound and southbound I-5. In addition, work continues on the frontage roads along the northbound I-5 (Adoree Street) and southbound I-5 (Southbound Frontage Road). Adoree Street is temporarily closed between Norwalk Boulevard and Kalnor Avenue; access will be maintained for local residents. Adoree Street will not be accessible from Norwalk Boulevard.
ROSECRANS AVENUE & BLOOMFIELD AVENUE BRIDGE PROJECT
Monday, July 6 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., crews will close one lane in each direction on Rosecrans Avenue, between Firestone Boulevard and Bloomfield Avenue, to adjust k-rail. Nightly closures of Rosecrans Avenue, between Firestone Boulevard and Bloomfield Avenue, are scheduled nightly 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., Monday night, July 6 through Friday night, July 10. Please note, the contractor will only close one direction of Rosecrans Avenue each night; for example, when eastbound Rosecrans is closed, one lane of westbound Rosecrans will remain open and vice versa. Motorists will be directed to the detour route outlined in the map below, while these closures are under way.
The new southbound I-5 Rosecrans on and off-ramps will open to the public at 5 a.m. Thursday, July 9. In addition, the southbound I-5 will be closed from Imperial Highway to Carmenita Road, from 9 p.m. Wednesday, July 8 to 5 a.m. Thursday, July 9 as crews perform striping work on the freeway. Motorists will be detoured to exit southbound I-5 at Imperial Highway and turn right, turn left on Pioneer Boulevard, turn left on Alondra Boulevard, turn right on Carmenita Road, then turn right on Firestone Boulevard to access the southbound I-5 on-ramp.
