Multiple 210 Freeway Off-Ramps To Remain Closed For Construction

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) announced multiple long-term ramp closure of eastbound Interstate 210 in the San Fernando Valley for paving work that is expected to continue impacting Santa Clarita traffic. 

Over the next month and a half, Caltrans is expected to be conducting road work to improve the 210 Freeway, according to officials. 

Crews are expected to be conducting the following closure for at least 45 days:

• Eastbound I-210 Wheatland Avenue on and off-ramps, closed as of Aug. 23 
• Eastbound Polk Street on and off-ramps,  beginning Sept. 7 at 7 p.m. 
• Eastbound Yarnell Street on and off-ramps, beginning Sept. 7 at 7 p.m.  

The closure is expected to allow crews to pave the ramps and provide additional room to pave the far-right lane. 

All closures are weather permitting and subject to change, according to officials. 

Residents and local businesses located near the freeway may experience noise, vibrations and dust associated with construction activities. 

The work on the 210 Freeway is part of a $135.5 million project replacing all lanes of the Freeway with new pavement from Wheatland Avenue to the 5 Freeway. 

This project is funded by Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. Overhead sign structures, traffic loop detectors, center median barrier, and the guardrail system are also being upgraded by this project. 

Caltrans reminds drivers to be “Work Zone Alert” and to “Slow for the Cone Zone.”
