Los Angeles — The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is planning multiple overnight closures on Interstate 110 (I-110) between I-10 and Exposition Boulevard beginning Friday, Jan. 26, and ending Sunday, Jan. 28. The schedule includes a complete closure of the freeway in both directions of travel from late Saturday night through early Sunday morning. From Friday night to Saturday morning, the interstate will be reduced to one lane only in the southbound direction.
These closures will allow crews to safely demolish the defunct pedestrian bridge over I-110 at 21st Street.
The closure schedule is as follows:
Friday, Jan. 26
- Southbound I-110 reduced to one lane between I-10 and Exposition Boulevard
- 11 p.m. – 7 a.m. Saturday
- Crews to begin closing all on-ramps to southbound I-110 as well as the eastbound and westbound connectors from I-10 as early as 9 p.m.
- Southbound off-ramp to Adams Boulevard closed all weekend
- 7 p.m. Friday to 8 p.m. Sunday
Saturday, Jan. 27
- Southbound I-110 between I-10 and Exposition Boulevard and northbound I-110 between Adams Boulevard and Washington Boulevard: FULL CLOSURE
- 11 p.m. – 8 a.m. Sunday
- Crews to begin closing on-ramps and connectors as early as 9 p.m.
- Southbound off-ramp to Adams Boulevard closed all weekend
- 7 p.m. Friday to 8 p.m. Sunday
Motorists are advised to avoid the area by taking an alternate route or by using public transit. Southbound traffic on I-110 will be detoured to exit the interstate at the I-10 interchange and re-enter the freeway at either Exposition Boulevard or Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Northbound traffic will exit at Adams Boulevard and either re-enter the freeway at Washington Boulevard or access I-10 via Hoover Street. Detour maps are attached.

Residents and businesses located near construction may experience noise, vibrations and dust associated with construction activities.
