Wilshire Boulevard will be under construction through the first weekend of April. The reconstruction of three intersections — at 17th, 20th and 26th streets, began on Wednesday and the work will require partial closure of each intersection for several days during construction. The anticipated schedule is as follows: 20th Street intersection: Work began on March 24 and will end on March 29. 17th and 26th Street intersections: Work will begin on March 31 and will end on April 4. East and west bound traffic on Wilshire Boulevard will be reduced to one lane near the construction zone. North and south bound traffic on 17th, 20th and 26th streets will be detoured per the approved traffic control plan.
For each intersection, the construction activity is scheduled to last three days (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday), followed by two days of concrete cure time (Saturday and Sunday). The intersections will remain partially closed to traffic during that period, and will be fully restored early Monday morning.
Inquiries and concerns should be directed to City Hall’s project hotline at 1 800-200- 8340.
