Retaining Wall Construction

WHAT:

Crews are expected to perform paving activities along the retaining wall near the northbound (NB) McFadden Avenue off-ramp. This work will require closing the NB McFadden Avenue off-ramp, Edinger Avenue on-ramp, and two outside lanes between these ramps.


WHEN:

9 p.m. to 5 a.m. nightly, Monday, Aug. 3 through Friday, Aug. 7.


This work may be loud. The schedule is subject to change due to inclement weather or unforeseen operational issues.

Upcoming Closures

Southbound I-5 to Southbound SR-55 HOV Connector

Crews are expected to perform drilling operations along the center median on southbound SR-55, which will require closing the southbound I-5 to southbound SR-55 HOV connector from 9 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 5 to 5 a.m., Thursday, Aug. 6. The general-purpose connector will remain open.

Eastbound Dyer Road

Crews are expected to stripe eastbound (EB) Dyer Road underneath the freeway to reopen the street to three lanes, which will require closing EB Dyer from 9 p.m., Friday, Aug. 7 to 5 a.m., Saturday, Aug. 8.


Once complete, crews will place concrete barriers along eastbound and westbound MacArthur Boulevard to shift traffic towards the outside and reduce the street to two lanes in each direction. This will allow crews to safely perform work in the median.

In the Community

About the Project

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.
