I-405, SR-22 Weekend Freeway Closures Scheduled for August to Make Way for New Connector

Construction workers will close portions of the San Diego Freeway (I-405) and the Garden Grove Freeway (SR-22) during the third weekend in August to make way for a new carpool connector between the two freeways.

Crews are reconstructing the southbound I-405 connector to the eastbound SR-22 freeway and are gearing up to demolish the old connector once the new structure is complete.

In order to demolish the old connector, crews will close portions of the eastbound SR-22, northbound I-405 and southbound I-405 freeways from approximately 9 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 17 to approximately 5 p.m. Sunday, Aug.18, 2013.

The construction team has a map and list of recommended detours for these closures:

  • The northbound I-405 freeway at Valley View St.
  • The southbound I-405 freeway at the I-605 freeway junction
  • The 7th St.  / Eastbound SR-22 at the southbound I-405 freeway junction
