The closure area is shown in red on the map below; the detour route is shown in green.
As crews work on Imperial Highway, Norwalk Boulevard and Pioneer Boulevard bridges at I-5, one lane in each direction will be closed on each street (at I-5) during the daytime, between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. ROSECRANS AVENUE & BLOOMFIELD AVENUE BRIDGE PROJECT Crews have closed N.
