Commuter chaos: It's the biggest SoCal freeway lane closure since Carmageddon. Is traffic moving this morning? Now on ABC7
IRWINDALE, Calif. -- The five-day closure of the westbound 210 Freeway in the San Gabriel Valley was fully underway Thursday morning, but things got off to a bumpy start.
Both sides of the freeway were shut down until just before 5 a.m. when the eastbound side was converted for moving traffic. "The bridge essentially is 811-feet-long," structural manager Qunh Nguyn said during a press conference last week."The challenge in this project is not just the upgrade of the hinges -- two hinges -- hinge four and six, but we have to do it for the first time in California."
