Carmageddon II off to a smooth start
The 10-mile closure on the 405 Freeway for a bridge-demolition project appears to be going without a hitch, officials say late Friday. The freeway is expected to reopen before rush hour Monday morning.
As the sun set and rush hour began to fade on the 405 Freeway on Friday evening, crews gradually shut down ramps and closed lanes of traffic to make room for a small army of construction workers tasked with knocking down the remaining half of the Mulholland Drive bridge this weekend.
