The California Department of Transportation announced the southbound Interstate 5 will be reduced to one or two lanes from two miles north of Templin Highway (near the Whitaker Sand Shed) north of Castaic to Lake Hughes Road overnights Monday, Sept. 16 through Friday, Sept. 20 for paving work.

Lane closures are subject to change and are scheduled as follows:

Monday, Sept. 16 through Friday, Sept. 20:

— Northbound I-5 will be reduced to two lanes from 8 p.m. to 11:59 p.m. and then it will be reduced to one lane until 6 a.m.

— The northbound right lane remains closed 24/7 through November. Paving on the southbound lanes is complete and all southbound lanes will remain open overnights.

This construction is part of a project that began in April of 2022. The overall scope of the project includes replacing concrete slabs, upgrading drainage systems and guardrail, repairing and stabilizing slopes through rock scaling and installing geogrid and construction of the retaining wall.

Please allow extra travel time and drive with caution through the construction zone as work continues to keep the freeways safe.
