Freeway closures

Massive freeway renovation projects could affect many commuters to Cal State Long Beach in 2010.

According to a Daily Forty-Niner article by Robert Grimmick, California state Route 22 and Interstates 405 and 605 will undergo renovation next year.

The connector from state Route 22 — also known as the Seventh Street Bridge — and the I-405 will be shut down for up to a year to construct new lanes.

Other connectors will be closed for limited times as well.

West County Connectors project manager Niall Barrett told the Daily Forty-Niner that closing the northbound I-405 and the westbound Seventh Street Bridge will mainly affect drivers coming from Orange County to Long Beach.

Cal State Long Beach Media Relations Director Rick Gloady informed Daily Forty-Niner that approximately a third of the campus commutes from Orange County.
