120-Day Closure Set for 405 Fwy Sunset Boulevard Off-ramp

The ramp will be fully closed to bolster its capacity by 60 percent, Metro officials said

Commuters will have to endure a four-month closure of a vital 405 Freeway off-ramp while crews continue work on the Sepulveda Pass Improvement project.

Starting Aug. 3, the Sunset Boulevard off-ramp on the northbound 405 Freeway will be closed for 120 days, according to a Metro news release issued Wednesday.

During the closure, crews will work to lengthen and widen the off-ramp by 60 percent, Metro officials said.

Approximately 1,200 drivers use the off-ramp on a daily basis during its peak times, said Dave Sotero, spokesman for Metro.

The new setup will feature two right-turn lanes and one left-turn lane onto Sunset Boulevard.

Drivers can take these detours to bypass the construction:
