Nighttime full closures of the southbound I-405 Freeway scheduled for Tuesday night, Feb. 21

The following information was released by the Orange County Transportation Authority.

The southbound I-405 freeway will be closed (between the I-605 freeway and Valley View Street) from midnight on Tuesday night, Feb. 21 until 5 a.m. on Wednesday morning, Feb 22. This overnight full closure is necessary to allow crews to perform minor demolition activities along the southbound I-405 / eastbound SR-22 connector, as they prepare to advance construction of the new SR-22 / I-405 carpool connector.

The southbound I-405 freeway will also be closed between midnight and 5 a.m. (from the I-605 freeway to Seal Beach Boulevard) nightly, Wednesday night, Feb. 22 through Saturday night, Feb. 25. This work is necessary to allow crews to pour concrete for the stem and soffit portion of the 7th Street bridge. The soffit is the underside of the bridge and the stem is the center part of the bridge.

Please be advised this night work may be loud and disruptive to the neighboring community due to truck activity, back-up alarms and equipment noise.
