The CHP was called to the scene, on the northbound side of the freeway at Avenida Vista Hermosa, at around 9 a.m. after reports of the roadway bubbling up. Caltrans arrived to investigate and ordered the closure of three lanes while crews made repairs and attempted to figure out the source of the bubbling.
There is no estimated time of reopening for that portion of the freeway at this time.
This is a developing story. Additional information will be added when it becomes available.
