We honor and thank all those who have served and those who continue to serve in the United States Armed Forces. In observance of Veterans Day, there will be no closures on Tuesday, Nov. 10 and Wednesday, Nov. 11.

WHAT:

Crews are preparing to demolish and reconstruct the center median of SR-55 between I-405 and I-5 to accommodate a new carpool lane. As part of this work, crews are shifting northbound SR-55 traffic onto newly constructed lanes. Intermittent nighttime lane and ramp closures are required.

PERMANENT ON-RAMP CHANGE

As part of the traffic shift, the northbound McFadden Avenue on-ramp will be permanently restriped to eliminate weaving and merging conflicts on NB SR-55.

Once the new striping is in place, motorists using this on-ramp will only be able to access northbound I-5. Access to northbound SR-55 or southbound I-5 will no longer be available from this on-ramp. Motorists traveling to northbound SR-55 or southbound I-5 should use alternate routes.

For more information and to view alternate routes, visit octa.net/55Construction.

This work may be loud. The schedule

is subject to change due to inclement

weather or unforeseen operational issues.

WHEN:

9 p.m. to 5 a.m. nightly, beginning as

early as Monday, Nov. 2 and continuing for approximately two weeks.

In mid-November, crews are expected to begin shifting southbound SR-55 traffic onto newly constructed lanes. Additional information will be provided in future communications.

Crews are expected to perform pavement grinding along the outside lanes on southbound (SB) SR-55 between I-405 and I-5, which will require closing up to three outside lanes from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. weeknights, Monday, Nov. 9 through Friday, Nov. 20.

At least two lanes will remain open to traffic.

OCTA, in cooperation with Caltrans, is improving 4 miles of SR-55 between I-405 and I-5. The project will improve traffic flow and reduce travel time by adding one regular lane and one carpool lane in each direction. Also, the project will add merge lanes between several interchanges and stripe carpool lanes for continuous access, augmenting safety on the freeway by making merging easier. These enhancements are expected to create a better, smoother driving experience for motorists.
