Ramp closure

Freeway closures in several local cities could cause some frustration for commuters leaving CSULB late at night.

According to a Cal Trans press release, the California Department of Transportation has begun a $6 million roadway repair project on the Interstate 605, 405, and state Route 22.

The construction will affect the freeways in the cities of Seal Beach, Los Alamitos, Long Beach and Rossmoor.

One particular freeway closure that is near campus and is being repaired is on-ramp for northbound Interstate 605 in Los Alamitos.

The ramp — which is located off of Willow Avenue — will be closed for 10 days beginning ­­­­­April 17 and lasting until April 27. Construction will be done from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.

The project as a whole is designed to grind and replace existing roadway pavement, reconstruct the Katella (Los Alamitos) on-ramp, and install guardrail at various locations.
