".....Come the third weekend in July, the entire freeway will be closed to traffic. Starting at 10 p.m. on July 15th, the CHP will shut down the 405 from the I-10 freeway interchange in West Los Angeles to the connector to the 101 freeway in Sherman Oaks, in order to demolish the Mulholland Drive Bridge connecting Brentwood to Bel Air. The 10-mile stretch of freeway will re-open at 5 a.m. Monday the 18th, in time for the morning rush hour....."

Yeah, the electronic freeways signs have been warning about it for the past month or so.

Luckily I don't think I have to go anywhere around those days... so it shouldn't have any effect on me :D

Be sure to have the wrecking ball swing by Sacramento and knock down the statehouse. You might be able to free up that tax-burdened constipated economy and stop the exodus of businesses from the state.

There are some seriously congested roads there. I spent a weekend in LA and after that D.C. was like heaven! You have so many people in the area and so many roads, but it still isn't enough! They might need to explore double decker highways. Twice the traffic capacity with the same footprint. have the top level be express that only feeds and offloads at major surface roads that can handle the flow and leave the lower level for local traffic.
