There are a whole lot of nighttime freeway closures in the area this week, so Patch has come up with a simple trick to help you keep them straight. Just remember, about all of your favorite onramps, exits and connectors will be closed every night this week. Several freeway lanes will be closed too.
Work on the West County Connector project is steadily shifting west to Seal Beach, Rossmoor, Long Beach and Los Alamitos as the eastern segment progresses. Drivers in these communities should brace themselves for the next year of closures and detours to allow for imprved carpool lane connectors between the Garden Grove (22), San Diego (405) and San Gabriel (605) freeways.
This week's closures:
- The northbound 405 will have lanes closed from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. tonight through Thursday night.
