Thursday, Aug. 18 – Northbound I-5 or Southbound I-5

 – After 9 p.m., lanes in either direction may close intermittently if needed.

These planned closures will enable crews to install lane striping for new I-5 HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle, or carpool) lanes. Also on Wednesday night, crews will install striping at the following locations in the I-5 corridor:

 – Front Street at Burbank Blvd., adjacent to Southbound I-5.

 – Victory Place at Old Empire Avenue, adjacent to the I-5 Empire Avenue interchange.

Dates, times and locations of closures are subject to change due to weather or operational reasons.

Motorists and other travelers are advised to be aware of these scheduled closures and allow extra travel time if they plan to be in these areas.

Commuters are advised that the closure of the Southbound I-5 Verdugo Avenue Off-Ramp may affect their travel time to the nearby Downtown Burbank Metrolink Station on Front Street.

Updates will be posted at the project’s website My5LA.com and on Twitter at twitter.com/My5LA. Current highway closures and traffic conditions can be checked anytime 24/7 at QuickMap.dot.ca.gov.

The I-5 HOV Lanes and intersection improvements are a project of Caltrans and Metro (Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority) in collaboration with the city of Burbank.
