I-5 Closures Imminent in Commerce and Downey: Essential Traffic Disruptions Ahead

In an effort to maintain the quality of travel on Interstate 5 (I-5), the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has announced a series of lane closures in the cities of Commerce, Downey, and Santa Fe Springs. These closures are part of a pavement rehabilitation project on a 6.5-mile stretch of I-5 from the I-605 interchange to north of Atlantic Boulevard.

The lane closures are scheduled to take place between September 23 and September 28, 2024, from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. During this period, up to two lanes on Northbound I-5 will be closed in the specified area. This work is crucial to extend the life of the pavement, impede roadway deterioration, and improve the ride quality for motorists traveling on I-5.

Construction schedules are subject to change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances. Residents and businesses near the construction site may experience noise, vibrations, and dust associated with the construction activities.

When completed, this project will significantly contribute to the overall maintenance of I-5, one of the busiest freeways in the state. The project aims to ensure a smooth and safe journey for motorists, thereby reducing the likelihood of accidents and delays.

For more information about the project, including updates on the construction schedule, you are encouraged to visit the project website. The specific contractor for this project is not mentioned in the available sources, but the project is conducted by Caltrans, as referenced in their District 7 SHOPP project documents.

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) appreciates the understanding and cooperation of the public during this crucial phase of the pavement rehabilitation project on I-5. They are committed to minimising the impact of the construction on the daily commute and ensuring the safety of all road users.
