Commuters in and around downtown Los Angeles Monday are going to feel the impact of a mile-long freeway closure as a result from a fire from over the weekend.
Transportation officials in Southern California are urging anyone who needs to go in and around downtown Los Angeles to 'plan for extra time for your morning commute, work from home if you can or take public transit.' Monday's morning commute will be the first test for people living, working and visiting the area while a portion of Interstate 10 remains closed after a massive fire broke out underneath a freeway bridge on Saturday.
At least 16 homeless people living underneath the highway were evacuated and brought to shelters, Bass said. Officials said there was no immediate indication that the blaze began at the encampment, and the cause of the fire is still under investigation. According to authorities, over 160 firefighters worked to contain and extinguish the fire. Fox News' Stepheny Price and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
