Work continues on the SR-55 (I-405 and I-5) Improvement Project to help ease the drive for commuters. The $475.1 million project will improve mobility and reduce congestion on the freeway, a vital link from central Orange County to the coast.
Crews are reconstructing the MacArthur Boulevard bridge following January’s barrier demolition. The Edinger Avenue bridge will be the second of four bridges to be partially demolished beginning as early as Monday, July 24. The concrete barriers along both sides of the freeway bridge over Edinger Avenue will be demolished over three weeks, with crews working from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. No weekend work is anticipated.
The demolition requires a full closure of Edinger Avenue under the freeway. The outside lane on northbound and southbound SR-55 will be closed to allow crews to perform the work on the bridge. All Edinger on- and off-ramps will remain open.
The project’s closures and detours map provides additional information.
