Ramp Linking 105 Freeway, Sepulveda Closed This Weekend

The same ramp was closed for the last two weekends

For the third weekend in a row, the busiest route from Los Angeles International Airport to surrounding freeways will be closed -- but this time, it's for a car commercial taping.

The ramp linking the Sepulveda Boulevard tunnel to the Glenn Anderson (105) Freeway will be closed from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, under a permit issued to a production company by Caltrans.

Also closed will be eastbound 105 onramps from Imperial Highway at Sepulveda, and the onramp from Parkview Drive in El Segundo.

The eastbound 105 onramp on Imperial Highway near La Cienega Boulevard will be open, but that ramp does not connect to ramps from the 105 to the San Diego (405) Freeway.

Motorists departing LAX were advised to use surface streets like Century, Aviation or La Cienega boulevards to reach the freeways by avoiding the Sepulveda Boulevard tunnel, where heavy traffic was expected.

Last weekend, the airport exit ramp to the 105 was closed for repair of a chronic pavement problem, which numerous cars to spin out when the road was wet. The weekend before that, the ramp was closed because the pavement was wet.
