Expo Right-of-Way Paving at National and Washington Boulevards

From March 5 through mid-April, Expo contractor Balfour Beatty Infrastructure Inc. (BBII), will be conducting paving activities on National and Washington Boulevards adjacent to the Expo right-of-way. 

The work will be marked by traffic detours and diversions, and according to a release by the City, maintaining access to Howard Industries on Washington Blvd. during the widening and reconstruction of Washington means the work will have to take place in phases. The anticipated work schedule is as follows:

• Monday, March 5 to Friday, March 9, 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. - implement base course paving of the areas of National and Washington Boulevards within the closed portions of the roadway.
• Saturday, March 10, 9 a.m. – 7 p.m. - implement a full closure of National Boulevard, between Washington Boulevard and Wesley Street. Through-traffic will be directed to La Cienega Boulevard.
• Monday, March 12 and Tuesday, March 13, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. - minor traffic diversions within the work area will occur on National Boulevard, between Wesley Street and Schaefer Avenue.

During the above period, work will be implemented at the Howard Industries work area, with occasional minor traffic diversions.  When the work at Howard Industries is done, the final paving of National and Washington Boulevards will be performed and the streets will be fully re-opened.  This final paving will require rotating closures of National and Washington Boulevards and will be done on a weekend in April.

BBII has installed changeable message signs around the area advising of the March 10 full closure of National Boulevard and providing detour information.  BBII will also hand-deliver notices to the affected area and City Staff will coordinate web-postings of notices and e-mail distributions. 

These same noticing procedures will be implemented for the final paving in April.
