LOS ANGELES — Motorists planning to travel on the 110 Freeway near downtown Los Angeles Friday night should prepare for delays as Caltrans begins demolition work on an out-of-service pedestrian bridge, prompting overnight lane closures that will continue through the weekend.
From 11 p.m. Friday through 7 a.m. Saturday, the three outer lanes on the southbound 110 Freeway will be closed between the 10 Freeway and Exposition Boulevard. All on-ramps to the southbound freeway will also be closed in the area, as long as the connector ramps from the 10 Freeway.
Motorists will still be able to access the express lanes, which begin just south of the work area, according to Caltrans.
From 11 p.m. Saturday through 8 a.m. Sunday, the entire southbound 110 Freeway will be shut down between the 10 Freeway and Exposition Boulevard, and the entire northbound 110 Freeway will be closed between Adams and Washington boulevards.
Motorists using the northbound express lanes will have to exit early. Southbound Express Lanes will be accessible via the 28th Street on-ramp, the 39th Street on-ramp or any other entry on the southbound freeway starting at Florence Avenue.
The southbound off-ramp at Adams Boulevard will be closed throughout the weekend, reopening at roughly 8 p.m. Sunday, according to Caltrans.
During the full freeway closure, southbound motorists will be diverted at the 10 Freeway interchange, reentering the freeway at either Exposition or Martin Luther King Jr. boulevards. Northbound motorists will be forced off the freeway at Adams, reentered at Washington. Northbound motorists can access the 10 Freeway using Hoover Street.
The closures will allow crews to demolish the defunct pedestrian bridge over the 110 Freeway at 21st Street.
Motorists can get up-to-date information on the closure through the Caltrans Quickmap website, https://quickmap.dot.ca.gov.
