Over the weekend of April 12, crews removed sections of the East L Street overpass that spanned lanes of Interstate 5. This overpass was originally built in 1963. During the overnight work, directional closures of I-5 were implemented and drivers followed signed detours. In the weeks since then, crews have removed the bridge piers and remaining sections of the overpass. This work is necessary so crews can widen I-5 to build HOV lanes and an additional auxiliary lane in the northbound direction. The overpass will be back in operation in late fall 2021. The new East L Street overpass will sport one 11-foot lane in each direction, bike lanes in both directions and wider sidewalks.
