The Resurfacing Division has scheduled the final phase of resurfacing for Beverly Glen Blvd from Greendale Drive to Sunset Blvd on Thursday May 12th to Saturday May 14, 2016. The department will be profiling the concrete segment on Thursday and Friday and then lay the asphalt on Saturday May 14th. The resurfacing crew will begin at 9:00am on Thursday to accommodate and minimize impact on the roads. The crew will be there until 3:00pm and then open the road afterwards. On Saturday, crews will begin diverting traffic at 6:00am but will begin the paving operation at 7:00am with a goal to be completed before 5:00pm that day.

The Department will only allow local traffic, but no through traffic between Greendale Drive and Sunset Blvd. The segment will be completely closed on Saturday when the paving is placed.

Message boards have been placed at the top of Mulholland Drive and bottom of Sunset Blvd to inform drivers. Drivers traveling south on Beverly Glen Drive will be routed to use Greendale Drive and those driving from Sunset Blvd will not be able to turn onto Beverly Glen between the hours posted above. We understand that this may be an inconvenience to drivers but the segment itself will require a 3 day closure to complete the project.

As always, any emergency response vehicles will be given full access to their destination. With high expectations the Department expects to complete this project within the days indicated.

The Los Angeles Police Department issues a list of routes and times to avoid during the President’s visit.

The project will continue as a full closure with traffic officers on site. Message boards are still at the locations to inform drivers of the closure for this weekend.

LADWP encountered an issue with a private sewer line last weekend which resulted in only 50% completion of the project. They will be out there again to complete the project this weekend. The homeowners along Mulholland Drive have been notified of this continuation.

Please see the message below from our CD5 council office regarding the upcoming water system project on Mulholland between Nicada and Beverly Glen. There will be a full closure from Friday, October 16, 2015 to Sunday, October 18, 2015.

“The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power will be having an upcoming Water System Infrastructure Project on Mulholland Drive between Beverly Glen and Nicada Drive. This project will be a take place on Friday, October 16, 2015 to Sunday, October 18, 2015. The project will require a FULL 3-DAY CLOSURE of the aforementioned segment. Upon completion of the project, our Council Office will work with Bureau of Street Services to repave the segment.

Our office has been working diligently with LADWP and LADOT to ensure that all major concerns of this project have been addressed. The hours of work will be Friday through Sunday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. The traffic will be directed to Nicada Drive and Beverly Glen (please see plan attached). Message Boards are currently being placed along Mulholland Drive and surrounding streets to inform drivers of this closure. Notices will also be sent out to the community this week regarding this upcoming project. As always, emergency vehicles and local residents living along the road will be given full access to travel through.”

Notice to Community – DWP Water Repairs on Mulholland Drive (10-7-15)

Updated Charing Cross and Hilgard Bypass Line

Changes to drinking water quality regulations require open air reservoirs to be covered, bypassed, or removed from service. To comply with these regulations, the LADWP will be installing a floating cover on Upper Stone Canyon Reservoir, which is located in the Beverly Glen area and currently services the adjacent communities and the UCLA campus. LADWP will temporarily remove Upper Stone Canyon Reservoir from service in order to install the cover. Before this can be done, the LADWP must install a new water pipeline to provide continued water deliver to the surrounding communities while the reservoir is temporarily removed from service.

Project Description

LADWP will install approximately 385 feet of 36-inch diameter water pipeline at Sunset Boulevard and Hilgard Avenue. The large diameter pipeline, known as the Charing Cross and Hilgard Bypass Line, will connect to existing infrastructure at the intersections of Sunset Boulevard and Hilgard Avenue and along Hilgard Avenue south of Charing Cross Road. The new pipeline will ensure continued water deliver to the surrounding communities while the reservoir is out of service, and will also provide improved redundancy in the system necessary for future maintenance and in case of emergency.

Construction will require traffic modifications along Sunset Boulevard and Hilgard Avenue from mid-June 2015 to January 2016. LADWP has coordinated this work with UCLA and Metro in order to complete the construction along Sunset Boulevard before fall classes at UCLA resume in an effort to reduce the traffic impacts to the area. Refer to the dates and maps under Construction Details below for additional traffic information.

The Los Angeles Bureau of Street Services Resurfacing Division has scheduled Phase II of resurfacing for Beverly Glen on Saturday November 15, 2014 and Sunday November 16, 2014. The 1.6 mile segment of resurfacing will be from Beverly Glen Place to Greendale Drive. The department will be profiling on Saturday the 15th and will repave the following day on Sunday the 16th, with an estimated 4100 tons of asphalt. The resurfacing crew will begin at 6:00am and will be done before 5:00pm on both days.

The department will only allow local traffic but no through traffic between Greendale Drive and Beverly Glen Place, as they will have many trucks and heavy equipment working within the narrow roadway. This is especially true on Sunday when they pave. Message boards will be placed this week at Mulholland Drive and Sunset Blvd to inform residents and motorists of the road construction and intended street closure, also advising all to use an alternate route.  Emergency Response Vehicles will be given full access to their destination.
