WHAT: Crews are preparing to demolish and reconstruct the center median of SR-55 between I-405 and I-5 to accommodate a new carpool lane. As part of this work, crews will shift northbound SR-55 traffic onto newly constructed lanes. Intermittent nighttime lane and ramp closures will be required.

PERMANENT ON-RAMP CHANGE
As part of the traffic shift, the northbound McFadden Avenue on-ramp will be permanently restriped.

Once the new striping is in place, motorists using this on-ramp will only be able to access northbound I-5. Access to northbound SR-55 or southbound I-5 will no longer be available from this on-ramp. Motorists traveling to northbound SR-55 or southbound I-5 should use alternate routes.

This regional improvement will reduce congestion and delays by eliminating the weaving and merging near the SR-55/I-5 interchange. Motorists traveling on northbound SR-55 will still be able to merge right to access the northbound and southbound I-5 connectors.

Motorists using the McFadden Avenue on-ramp will only be able to access the northbound I-5 connector and must use alternate routes to access northbound SR-55 or southbound I-5.

This work may be loud. The schedule is subject to change due to inclement weather or unforeseen operational issues.

WHEN: 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. nightly, beginning as early as Monday, Oct. 26 and continuing for approximately two weeks.
