Part of the 405 improvement project will involve extended closure of all eight on- and off-ramps at Wilshire and the 405 freeway. The first closures will be the Wilshire westbound-to-405 northbound on-ramp, and the 405 northbound-to Wilshire westbound off-ramp. These ramps (both on the northwest corner of Wilshire and Sepulveda) will be closed from NEXT FRIDAY, 6/22, through September 22. Click below for a pdf fact sheet:

Interested in learning more about how traffic will be impacted by the closure of the Wilshire on- and off-ramps to the 405?
Metro will host a live online chat about the closures on Friday, 6/15 (TOMORROW) at 1 pm. Here’s more information:

We have been informed that one of LADWP’s machines became inoperable today during the beginning of the repaving process, and the work has been postponed. They anticipate that the work will be done tomorrow and Wednesday.
Street closure times should be between 8 am and 3:30 pm on those days.
This is all of the information we have received.
DWP will be repairing the damage to Beverly Glen done by the water main break at Corfu Lane on February 17th.
DWP will have a crew on Beverly Glen Blvd to repair 380 feet of damaged roadway starting Monday, June 11 from 9am to 3:30pm and then again on Tuesday, June 12 from 9am -3:30pm to complete the work. Work will be conducted on weekdays because DWP has insufficient funds to employ crews to work overtime hours on the weekend. There will be Traffic Officers at the bottom of Beverly Glen on Sunset Blvd and at the top of Beverly Glen at Mulholland Dive.
There will be a complete closure between Crater Lane and Corfu. Residents who live in the immediate vicinity will be flagged through.
Most of you will recall the scene during and immediately following the water main break in February, and have noticed the significant and continued deterioration of the street in the 3 1/2 months since then.

May 24, 2012 Community Meeting, 6:00pm to 8:00 pm
Westwood Recreation Center, 1350 S. Sepulveda Blvd., Los Angeles CA 90025, Room C
Subject: Details and detours for the Wilshire ramp reconstruction.
There is available parking at Westwood Recreation Center.
Here’s the meeting information from Metro:
Meeting Notice 5-24-12
Neighbors:
Most of the information below is accurate. Trimming should begin on Thursday, 4/19. Please abide by the No Parking signs or your car may be towed.
The Los Angeles Fire Department has hired a contractor to trim trees along Beverly Glen. The scheduled times and a description follows.
Your Traffic Committee Chair has discussed the impact on traffic and LAFD will be asking the contractor to do work on weekends on our side whenever possible, and not to set up in the morning until after 10 am, to avoid disrupting the morning commute. We believe they will make best efforts to keep traffic flowing when at all possible.
Trimming will be on the weekends starting at Valley Vista on 4/14 and moving up the hill and on week days starting at Parkwood/De Neve Park on 4/16 and moving up the hill. The Sherman Oaks trimming will be four successive weekends, and Beverly Glen four successive weeks, ending around May 15 (see note above about our having requested weekend trimming if possible).The contractor will keep two lanes of traffic moving whenever possible, but these lanes will be narrowed and the speeds greatly reduced. When needed, they will stop traffic entirely for up to 3 minutes at a time.
No parking notices will be posted along sections of street before the crews come and although it is a last resort, vehicles will be towed to gain access to trees or to avoid damage to them during trimming. Morning trimming will be on the east side of the boulevard starting with equipment set-up at
7:00 10:00 am 7:00 am, then switching to the west side. Work will be done by 2:30 pm each day. Signs will be placed at Sunset and Mulholland for the duration of the project advising that traffic will be delayed.
The planned segments for work (approx 2 days each) are as follows:
1. Parkwood to Greendale
2. Greendale to Hollybrush
3. Hollybrush to Fernbush
4. Fernbush to Crater
5. Crater to Caribou
6. Caribou to Seabury
7. Seabury to Ravenwood
8. Ravenwood to Nicada
9. Nicada to Beverly Glen Circle
10. Beverly Glen Circle to Mulholland
11. Sunset to Parkwood (fit in as traffic allows)
The trimming will be raising canopy up to 14 feet and in some places bringing the canopy back in places. There will be lots of raising of small branches and removal of dead wood. There will also be trimming back of hedges and other thick vegetation that extends into the roadway (e.g., ficus hedges, bamboo, etc.). The Fire Department has made every effort to accommodate protected tree species (e.g., oaks and sycamores) while cleaning up hazardous situations such as dead wood and peeling bark on eucalyptus trees. Volunteers from Residents of Beverly Glen have been working very closely with the Brush Clearance Unit to protect our beautiful tree canopy where possible.
For more information about the project, please contact the LAFD Brush Clearance Unit: John Novela, 818-778-4927.
