A nearly 6-mile stretch of the San Diego (405) Freeway is expected to be shut down for three nights during President's Day Weekend for a highway widening project.
Crews are expected to pave a section of the highway through the Sepulveda Pass from Feb. 14 to 18.
The project dubbed, “Jamzilla,” by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, aims to pave key portions of a soon-to-be northbound 10-mile carpool lane. The project was put into place to cut traffic on one of the most congested stretches of highway in the nation.
