Fairview Road Traffic Shift

Crews also will soon shift traffic to the new half of the Fairview bridge over I-405 and begin working on the second half of that bridge. The traffic shift is set for early-to-mid February and will require bridge and ramp closures.

Demolition of the second half of the bridge will occur over two weekends, under full freeway closures and is set for late February.

The 405 Community Outreach Team will provide detailed schedule, closure, detour information in future alerts.

Off-Ramp to Beach Boulevard is PERMANENTLY CLOSED

The southbound I-405 loop off-ramp to northbound Beach Boulevard is permanently closed. Motorists will use the Beach Boulevard/ Center Avenue off-ramp from now on to access north- and southbound Beach Boulevard.

The loop off-ramp was eliminated to accommodate the widening of Beach and of the freeway. The Beach/Center off-ramp and Center are being reconstructed to accommodate the change in traffic volume.
