Construction Activities

Northbound I-605 Loop Off-Ramp Reopens Monday, Aug. 31

Crews reopened the northbound I-605 Katella Avenue loop off-ramp to motorists by 5 a.m. Monday, Aug. 31. The extended closure allowed crews to complete paving and realignment work on the ramp.

Thank you for your patience during this work.
