More traffic trouble: The closures and congestion on the 210 Freeway return. Why this time traffic could be worse. Now on ABC7
On Wednesday night, the eastbound lanes were closed between the 605 Freeway and Irwindale Avenue. The closure will last through 5 a.m. Aug. 23.During the closure, all eastbound traffic will be diverted onto the westbound freeway, which will be reconfigured to allow three lanes of traffic in each direction.
"It will be on the San Gabriel River Bridge in Irwindale, so if your commute is through the San Gabriel Valley on the I-210, we strongly suggest to use I-10 or State Route 60," said Eric Menjivar, a Caltrans public information officer. According to Caltrans, the reason for this closure is to repair two bridge hinges on the San Gabriel River Bridge.
"It's where the bridge provides flexibility in case of seismic activity or an earthquake," Menjivar said.In July, Caltrans crews completed phase one of the bridge hinge repairs, impacting westbound lanes.To avoid traffic: plan ahead, take alternate routes, use public transportation or just stay home.
"If you can work from home and you have that opportunity, take advantage of it," Menjivar said. "Just avoid the area and avoid yourself a headache."Copyright © 2022 KABC Television, LLC. All rights reserved.
