3. GAS PIPES ON SEPULVEDA – LANE CLOSURES
SoCalGas will be doing work on the Westside of Los Angeles.
As part of their Pipeline Safety Enhancement Plan, they will be replacing pipe on Sepulveda Boulevard starting just south of Wilshire Boulevard and ending just north of Pico Boulevard. The work is expected to take three to four months to complete, although weather and other factors affecting safe working conditions could change the schedule.
There will be contractors’ trucks and heavy equipment in the area, temporary lane closures and the odor of natural gas may be present. As the work moves along Sepulveda Blvd., the center left-turn lane and one lane of northbound Sepulveda Blvd., will be closed for the length of the active work. Lane closures on Sepulveda Boulevard., will take place during the following times:
- Mon – Fri 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. the next day
- Saturday 5:30 a.m. to 4:30 a.m. on Sunday
- Sunday No lane closures after 4:30 a.m.
There will be no lane closures during peak travel times, and there will be no lane closures on Wilshire, Santa Monica., Olympic or Pico boulevards. On-site signage will provide additional traffic details.
