405/22 Connector to Close for 55 Hours
The ramp, which serves 63,000 drivers daily, will shut down Friday night through Monday morning.
If you are one of the 63,000 daily drivers who takes the southbound 405 Freeway to the east 22 Freeway, get ready: The connector will be closed for 55 hours this weekend.
As part of the $277-million West County Connector project, the connector will close at 10 p.m. Friday and reopen by 5 a.m. Monday morning.
The closure will enable crews to conduct restriping to shift traffic to the newly completed bridge, which was revamped to make room for a new 22/405 carpool connector.
