Metro: Expect Traffic Delays on Sepulveda Boulevard Monday

Crews begin work on moving a gas line under Sepulveda Boulevard as part of the 405 widening project.

In addition to the that may be caused by the arrival of President Barack Obama on Monday afternoon, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority has announced that Sepulveda Boulevard could be backlogged for the entire day today.

The Southbound lane on Sepulveda Boulevard will be closed between Montana Avenue and Moraga Drive and another northbound lane will be closed near Moraga Drive, to enable Chevron to move a gas line to accomodate the widening of the 405 freeway.

According to a release by Metro, Chevron will be working today from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. However, Metro also notes that the work could continue for a full 24 hours, if required.
