Ramp Jam
work to begin
Posted on June 21, 2012 by Steve Hymon
The demolition of the first two Wilshire-405 ramps begins this
weekend. There’s no way of sugar-coating it: there will be significant traffic
impacts. That said, the status quo in
the area has been pretty much horrible for as long as I can recall — way too
many cars competing for space while trying to enter and exit the freeway. The
reconstruction of the ramps should greatly improve the way that traffic flows
in the area, but there’s no getting around the pain that ramp reconstruction
will inevitably cause.
The video below explains the basics.
Here is the latest construction notice for the week beginning
tonight.
