Drivers should expect delays along Sepulveda Boulevard in Westwood starting today and continuing for three months...
As part of a $1 billion project to widen the San Diego (405) Freeway through the Sepulveda Pass, Chevron needs to move a gas line that runs underneath Sepulveda Boulevard. The move requires workers to drill underground, beginning near Sepulveda and Montana Avenue. The drilling exit point will be the intersection of Sepulveda and Moraga Drive.
The work requires the closure of one southbound lane of Sepulveda adjacent to the drill's entry and exit points, said Dave Sotero of Metro. Most of Sepulveda between the two intersections will be fully open, but "any closure on Sepulveda is a problem," Sotero said. Crews are scheduled to work from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. for three months.
Traffic problems also will be exacerbated by the closure of the southbound San Diego Freeway offramp at Sunset Boulevard for at least another week. Sotero said crews are ahead of schedule on raising approaches to Sunset Bridge, which will be about four feet higher on one side. The offramp is scheduled to reopen Sunday.
