I-405 Improvement Project construction alert: Wednesday, July 27

This post was originally published on this site

New Portion of the Westminster Boulevard Bridge Opening Soon

Crews began the second phase of construction of the Westminster bridge in 2021. When the new portion of the bridge opens this summer, it will have new vehicle lanes and sidewalks. Additionally, crews are constructing new traffic signals for the Westminster/Springdale Street and the Westminster/Willow Lane intersections.

The I-405 Improvement Project is excited to deliver an improved bridge to your community!

Please note that the northbound I-405 off-ramp to Willow will be permanently closed as part of the bridge improvements, and crews will continue constructing traffic signals, striping new bike lanes and conducting drainage work in the coming months. The 405 Community Outreach Team will provide updates in future alerts.

Stay tuned for more progress!
