Week of November 12, 2017



FLORENCE AVENUE INTERCHANGE PROJECT

The week of Nov. 12, crews will continue work to construct the northbound I-5 Florence Avenue on-ramp and the adjacent sound wall. Construction activities will include (but not limited to) backfilling using a vibratory roller, forming sections of the wall, and pouring concrete.

A portion of the sidewalk on Longworth Avenue, adjacent to the northbound I-5, has been closed to accommodate sound wall reconstruction. A chain link fence has been installed to close this area of the sidewalk from public access through the end of 2017. The sidewalk will be restored once sound wall construction is complete. While the sidewalk is being reconstructed, the sidewalk across the street from this work is open and accessible for public use.

At the end of November (exact date TBD), crews are preparing to move into the next stage of construction on the Florence Avenue bridge ( Stage 2 Phase 1). In this stage, traffic will be shifted onto the newly constructed south half of the Florence Avenue bridge and there will be two lanes for westbound traffic and one lane for eastbound traffic. In addition, crews will begin reconstructing the intersection of Orr and Day Road at Florence Avenue. Please note, there will be no access to Orr and Day Road from Florence Avenue for approximately two months (weather permitting), while the intersection is being reconstructed. The new temporary traffic configuration for Stage 2 Phase 1 is shown on the map below; closure areas are shown in red. To view all of the construction staging maps for the Florence Avenue bridge, visit the project website.

IMPERIAL HIGHWAY & PIONEER BOULEVARD PROJECT

Starting Monday, Nov. 13 through Friday, Nov. 17, crews will close Pioneer Boulevard to traffic in both directions between Crewe Street and Imperial Highway, nightly, between 7:30 p.m. and 6 a.m. As part of this work the northbound I-5 Pioneer Boulevard on-ramp will also be closed. The closure area is shown in red on the map below; the detour routes are shown in green.

Crews have closed the sidewalk along westbound Imperial Highway, between Paddison Avenue and Pioneer Boulevard, for construction activity. This portion of the sidewalk will be closed for the next several months. Pedestrians should follow detour signs and watch for motorists; the pedestrian detour route is shown on the map below in green; the sidewalk closure area is shown in red.

As crews work on Imperial Highway, Norwalk Boulevard and Pioneer Boulevard bridges at I-5, one lane in each direction may be closed on each street (at I-5) during the daytime, between 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.

ROSECRANS AVENUE & BLOOMFIELD AVENUE BRIDGE PROJECT

Over the next few weeks crews may take intermittent daytime lane closures on Rosecrans Avenue at I-5, Mondays through Fridays between 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. At least one lane will remain open in each direction on Rosecrans Avenue at all times. These lane closures are needed to complete installation of overhead signs and to pour curb and gutter.

The week of Nov. 26 crews are tentatively planning nighttime full closures on northbound and southbound I-5 at Rosecrans Avenue, in order to restripe the freeway and shift k-rail. On Wednesday night, Nov. 29 crews will close northbound I-5 and on Thursday night, Nov. 30 and Friday night, Dec. 1 crews will close southbound I-5. Additional information regarding this work, including closure limits, times and recommended detour routes, will be provided as details are finalized.
