<p>WARNING: Major Los Angeles Freeway closure July 15-17 Weekend
The main north/south artery, the I-405 (San Diego Fwy) will be closed for an entire weekend from a bit north of I-10 (Santa Monica Fwy) to the US 101 (Ventura Fwy) in order to demolish the Mulholland Overpass Bridge. Closures are predicted start about 10pm on Friday 15 July and the freeway is scheduled to reopen at 5 am on Monday 18 July. Traffic through the Sepulveda Pass will be rerouted onto the 2 lane (each direction) Sepulveda Blvd for the entire period (yes, that is 10 lanes into 4). No one in their right minds wants to be anywhere within 5 miles of this area that weekend. The LA Getty museum (fabulous place to visit [Visit</a> the Getty](<a href=“http://www.getty.edu/visit/]Visit”>Visit Our Museums - Locations, Exhibitions, Highlights | Getty) ) is perched in the hills overlooking the scene of the upcoming disaster and would have a fabulous view of the catastrophe, but will be next to impossible to get to at that time. </p>

<p>We are all dreading this. And if you read the detailed reports, yes this is just to add ONE lane, a carpool lane at that.</p>
