Freeway Closures Return to the Long Beach Area
Leave yourself some extra time if you're traveling late at night this week.
Overnight freeway closures are again scheduled in the Long Beach and San Gabriel Valley due to construction projects, Caltrans officials announced.
In Long Beach, both the southbound San Diego (405) and eastbound (22) freeways will be closed at Studebaker Road at 11 p.m. Monday through Friday nights, reopening at 5 a.m. the next days.
In Westminster, the northbound 405 and westbound 22 freeways will be closed at their Valley View Street exits starting at midnight Monday through Friday nights, Caltrans officials said. A major widening project at Seal Beach Boulevard is the problem there.

Numerous other freeway-to-freeway ramps linking the 405, 22 and the San Gabriel River (605) Freeway will also be closed, both before and after the main 405 closures. In the La Puente and West Covina area, both directions of the San Bernardino (10) Freeway will be closed late at night tonight through Thursday nights.
All the closure plans are tentative, and can be changed by bad weather or other unplanned occurances, Caltrans noted.
