Mark your doomsday datebooks, Metro has announced that the I-405 Freeway vans warped tour locations will be closed in both directions, between the 10 and the 101, over the weekend of Sept. 29-30. Plan dinner parties accordingly .
Carmageddon 2: Congestion Boogaloo will take the form of a 10-mile closure for 53 consecutive hours as work on the Sepulveda Pass continues. The portion of closed freeway typically touches tires with about half a million motorists on a normal weekend, says Metro.
Last July's Carmageddon closure wrapped up 17 hours ahead of schedule. Thursday's announcement did not include the same hopefulness, noting, "The contractor is unlikely to complete the work early because it has more demolition work to perform within the same 53-hour period."
Sepulveda Boulevard is intended for local resident access only. Metro encourages drivers to use the 5, 15, 23, 55, 57, 101, 118, 126, 210, 605 and 710 freeways, while simultaneously acknowledging that the work being done is " in a canyon with no immediate, effective north/south alternatives."
