Re: I-405 Sunset Southbound off-ramp Closure October 15 – 29
As part of the ongoing project to improve the I-405 Freeway through the Sepulveda Pass, the southbound Sunset Boulevard off-ramp will be closed every weekday for two weeks, from October 15th – 29th from 6am to 10am, to allow utility work and bridge-widening at Sunset.
This portion of the Sepulveda Pass project will affect students, staff and faculty commuting to UCLA from the San Fernando/Santa Clarita/Antelope Valleys or the 101 Freeway by forcing commuters to exit the I-405 at either Getty Center Drive or Wilshire Boulevard. As approximately 25 percent of UCLA staff and faculty live north of campus, an off-ramp closure during the peak morning commute hours could add significant time to commuters affected by this construction activity.
During these two weeks we encourage staff and faculty affected by this closure to be flexible to the extent possible in addressing scheduling issues during the dates of the closure. To this end, we ask that supervisors work with Employee & Labor Relations to develop alternative work schedules, to ensure any modification to schedules do not interfere with their department’s staffing and coverage needs or collective bargaining agreements with represented employees.

Thanks, Bill. This is just a warm up for the next, bigger traffic FUBAR in November when the Wilshire ramps will be closed. (We plan to work from home in the mornings.)
ReplyDeleteThe Wilshire ramp closures have been delayed until early 2012. Still, it's going to be ugly.
