Overnight lane closures and 24-hour parking restrictions will affect portions of State Route 2 in West Los Angeles and Echo Park from Jan. 12 to 18 as part of a multimodal infrastructure project.
Construction work for curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements will occur from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. nightly, with parking restrictions remaining in effect around the clock.
In West Los Angeles, up to one lane in each direction of Santa Monica Boulevard between Wellesley Avenue and Brockton Avenue will close during overnight hours. No parking will be allowed in either direction along that stretch. Additional restrictions include no parking and no sidewalk access from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday along eastbound Santa Monica Boulevard at Wellesley Avenue for gas line relocation, with pedestrian detours available. Big Blue Bus stops on Wellesley Avenue will temporarily close, with service available at Centinela Avenue or Bundy Drive stops.
In Echo Park, up to two lanes in each direction of Alvarado Street between Sunset Boulevard and Montana Street will close overnight, with one-lane closures continuing from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. No parking will be allowed in either direction from Montrose Street to Montana Street. The LA Metro bus stop at southbound Alvarado and Montana will close temporarily, with alternative stops available at U.S. 101 and Alvarado Street or Sunset Boulevard and Alvarado Street.
Business driveways will remain accessible during construction. Signs will be posted in advance of parking restrictions.
The $70.2 million project spans SR-2 from Centinela Avenue in Santa Monica to the SR-2 terminus in Echo Park, covering three segments totaling five miles. Once complete, the project will extend pavement life and enhance safety along multiple segments.
