Road Closures for 2014 LA Marathon Start Sunday

Roads and freeway ramps stretching through Los Angeles, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Santa Monica will be affected

As runners here start to gear up for the Los Angeles Marathon, so too will the streets.

Road closures for the 26.2-mile race, which starts at Dodger Stadium and ends near Pacific Coast Highway, begin early Sunday morning.

Street and freeway ramp barricades will affect commuter routes that thread through the Los Angeles, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Santa Monica areas.

In the early morning and throughout the afternoon, drivers will have to re-evaluate their travels so as to avoid traffic and crowds.

Public transportation routes between Chavez Ravine and the Pacific Coast will also experience minor tweaks and changes.

The Metro Expo Line and more than three dozen buses will have to adjust their courses. Metro has posted detour and service change information on its website.

Roads located directly on the marathon’s track will shut down for most of the morning. Areas will open up as runners pass through certain check points.

Streets next to the race course will close for local access only. All roads will reopen by approximately 9 p.m.

Races for the marathon begin at 7 a.m. Spectator information is available here.
