Week of Sept. 10, 2017
FLORENCE AVENUE INTERCHANGE PROJECT
Crews have begun work to construct the new sound wall along the northbound I-5 Florence Avenue on-ramp, adjacent to Longworth Avenue. Over the next two to three weeks, crews will continue drilling CIDH (cast in drilled hole) piles along northbound I-5. This operation will be conducted weekdays, between 6:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
A portion of the sidewalk on Longworth Avenue, adjacent to the northbound I-5, has been closed to accommodate sound wall reconstruction.

Nightly closures are ongoing on Firestone Boulevard south, between Shoemaker Avenue and Carmenita Road (shown in red below), between 7 p.m. and 5 a.m., Mondays through Fridays; this work will be ongoing into October.
