Florence Avenue Bridge Nighttime Lane Closures at I-5
Beginning Sunday, March 5
Florence Avenue will be closed to all traffic in both directions, between Studebaker Road and Orr and Day Road, from 8 p.m. Sunday, March 5 to 5 a.m. Monday, March 6 and then nightly between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., beginning Monday, March 6 for approximately two weeks. On Sunday night, March 5 crews will restripe Florence Avenue at I-5 to the new lane configuration (one lane in each direction); nightly closures will continue while crews demolish half of the Florence Avenue bridge at night for approximately two weeks.
Heavy traffic and delays are expected in the area surrounding Florence Avenue at I-5 once this work begins; motorists are urged to use alternative routes whenever possible.
Florence Avenue Bridge Lane Reduction at I-5 Beginning Monday, March 6
On Monday, March 6 Florence Avenue will be reduced to one lane in each direction, between Orr and Day Road and Fairford Avenue, for approximately two years. The Florence Avenue on-ramp to northbound I-5 will also close for approximately two years, on Monday, March 6. The Florence Avenue bridge is being reconstructed one half at a time to accommodate the widening of I-5 below the bridge.
The diagram below outlines the first stage of bridge construction (which will take approximately nine to 12 months to complete), including the temporary lane configuration, related ramp closures, and pedestrian access.
