Don't Be An April Fool: Check Our Freeway Closure List Before Driving

Parts of the 405 Freeway will close nightly each weekday this week. Some ramps and connectors will be offline, too.

Unfortunately, this isn’t an April Fool’s prank: parts of your most-used freeways, ramps and connectors will shut down nightly Monday through Friday this week.

Also, please note, while there is no daytime closure scheduled for the 7th Street/eastbound 22 Freeway Connector to the northbound 605 Freeway on April 1, there may be on-and off closures throughout the week.

The Orange County Transportation Authority, which provided the closure information, advises drivers to check this map to get updates on that connector and other closures.
