The extended weekend closure of westbound Rosecrans Avenue, has been rescheduled for the weekend of June 12 to 14. Westbound Rosecrans Avenue will be closed to through traffic underneath the I-5 freeway, from 9 p.m. Friday, June 12 to 9 p.m. Sunday, June 14, so crews can complete work to reconstruct the roadway prior to opening the new Rosecrans Avenue on and off-ramps. Additional information, including detour information will be sent out next week in a stand-alone eblast.
Daytime demolition activity of the Firestone Boulevard undercrossing at the I-5 freeway is ongoing and should be completed by Sunday, June 7; this work is being conducted between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. On Monday, June 8 (tentatively) crews will begin two to three weeks of nighttime demolition activity to remove the old Rosecrans Avenue bridge at the I-5 freeway. In order to minimize impacts to the traveling public and limit exposure of work crews to live traffic, demolition activity at Rosecrans Avenue must be conducted at nighttime and will require full closure of Rosecrans Avenue in both directions underneath the I-5 freeway. This work will be conducted at night between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. and will require a full closure of Rosecrans Avenue under I-5 in both directions. Visit the project Google map for detour information. Additional information will be provided before this work takes place. Please be advised this work will be loud and disruptive due to bridge demolition, equipment noise and construction activity.
On Friday, June 12 the contractor will conduct test pile driving activity along the I- 5 freeway at Bloomfield Avenue and Rosecrans Avenue.

This work will be ongoing for approximately eight to 10 weeks and will be conducted weekdays between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Please be advised this work may be loud and disruptive due to equipment noise, vibration and pounding related to pile driving activity.
