Caltrans to Close Alameda at I-5 Freeway Starting Sunday Night – Allen Ave. Wednesday

Caltrans is constructing a carpool lane on the Golden State Freeway (I-5) between the Ventura Freeway (SR-134) and Magnolia Boulevard in Burbank.

As part of the improvements, crews will be re-striping Alameda Avenue and placing k-rail on the street.  This will allow for the continuation of the widening of the freeway

This construction activity will require a full street closure of Alameda Avenue from Sunday, June 10, 2012 through Friday, June 15, 2012, 12 a.m. - 6 a.m.   See detour #1 below. 

The construction activity will also require a full street closure of Allen Avenue between Lake Street and Flower Street Wednesday, June 13, 12 a.m. - 6 a.m.     See detour #2 below.
