I-5 South Corridor Improvement Projects - Construction Alert

May 24, 2015

Closures will resume on the project on Tuesday, May 26. 


FLORENCE AVENUE INTERCHANGE PROJECT
Dollison Drive (between Quinn Street and southbound I-5 on-ramp) and the southbound I-5 freeway on-ramp on Dollison Drive have been permanently closed. As an alternate, motorists are encouraged to access the southbound I-5 freeway on-ramp on Studebaker Road. In addition, a long-term closure of the southbound I-5 on-ramp on Florence Avenue began in late-April and will be in place through January 2018.

IMPERIAL HIGHWAY & PIONEER BOULEVARD PROJECT
Crews are preparing to shift the southbound I-5 lanes of traffic (between Pioneer Boulevard and the Silverbow Avenue pedestrian bridge), onto new pavement along the widened, outside portion of the freeway. This traffic shift is tentatively scheduled to take place in late June 2015. Additional information will be provided once this work is scheduled. 

Construction activity is ongoing with several sound walls along the northbound and southbound I-5. In addition, work continues on the frontage roads along the northbound I-5 (Adoree Street) and southbound I-5 (Southbound Frontage Road). The contractor completed paving work on Adoree Street (between Kalnor Avenue and Paddison Avenue). The week of June 2 (tentatively), crews will shift the work area and temporarily close Adoree Street between Norwalk Boulevard and Kalnor Avenue; access will be maintained for local residents. Adoree Street will not be accessible from Norwalk Boulevard.  

ROSECRANS AVENUE & BLOOMFIELD AVENUE BRIDGE PROJECT
The contractor is preparing to reopen the Rosecrans Avenue on and off-ramp to the southbound I-5 freeway in June. Before these ramps are open to traffic, crews must reconstruct portions of Rosecrans Avenue at I-5. This wok will require an extended weekend closure of westbound Rosecrans Avenue, tentatively scheduled to take place the weekend of May 29-31; additional information will be sent in advance of that work, once the schedule is finalized.

CARMENITA ROAD INTERCHANGE PROJECT
During the week of May 24, nightly full freeway closures are scheduled  (Tuesday night through Thursday night) so crews can remove falsework from the Carmenita Road bridge. Southbound I-5 will be closed (Rosecrans Avenue to Valley View Avenue) nightly between 11:59 p.m. and 5 a.m., Tuesday through Thursday. For more information regarding upcoming closures, including recommended detour routes, please visit the project Google map. 

On May 29, crews are planning to shift lanes of traffic along northbound I-5, onto newly completed pavement in the center of the freeway; this will require a full nighttime closure of the northbound I-5 freeway. In June 2015 (tentative), crews will shift  traffic from the existing Carmenita Road bridge to the new bridge which is being built alongside the original structure. The traffic shift will include changes to the traffic pattern at Firestone Boulevard and Carmenita Road. More detailed information will be provided before the work is conducted.

DISCLAIMER: Due to the dynamic nature of construction, please note that all dates and times are subject to change due to unforeseen operational factors or inclement weather.
