Drivers heading north on the 5 Freeway any time this week should prepare for delays in the evening and early mornings, as Caltrans repairs part of the road damage caused in Castaic by the Route Fire.
Cars are being turned around at Parker Road, with cones along the northbound lanes directing traffic into a U-turn into the southbound lanes.
Traffic was backed up along the southbound lanes during the early Monday morning commute as a result. Nearby neighborhoods saw lots of traffic and confusion over the weekend as drivers tried to find alternate routes around the repairs. At one point Sunday night, California Highway Patrol officers were going car-to-car offering directions to drivers.

Best SUVs of 2022Looking like a taller, more rugged Mazda 3 hatchback, the 2022 CX-30 snuggles up next to the CX-5 on the small end of the brand's SUV lineup. Its curvaceous exterior design and near-premium cabin give the CX-30 an upscale appearance that almost puts it in contention with subcompact luxury crossovers such as the Audi Q3 and the BMW X1, but its pricing is more aligned with mainstream subcompact SUVs such as the Hyundai Kona and the Volkswagen Taos. The entry-level engine is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder, which delivers tepid acceleration; hot-shoe drivers will find the optional turbocharged 2.5-liter far more desirable.
