Please note that, at the request of the City of Los Angeles, Caltrans will fully close the road at each location during operational hours. Crews will set up barriers roughly 150 feet in each direction of the location where they are working. If residents need access, crews will temporarily pause work to allow safe walking passage only through the closure area. Motorists and residents are encouraged to plan ahead and use alternate routes if and when possible. In the event of an emergency, crews will move work vehicles and equipment to clear an access path for emergency vehicles.
For questions about the closures, email Al Dymally, City of Los Angeles Senior Construction Inspector, at al.dymally@lacity.org.
Caltrans will provide schedule information and share updates on the Tramonto and Castellammare landslides project page.”
