Attention weekend motorists: Southbound lanes of Highway 605 will be closed for a weekend facelift in the Downey and Norwalk areas.

Caltrans announced an extended weekend closure on Highway 605 between Interstate 5 in Downey and Firestone Boulevard in Norwalk for repaving. All southbound lanes will be closed Friday and Sunday evening, and some lanes will be closed for the remainder of the weekend until 5 a.m. Monday.

Interstate 5’s north and southbound connectors to the southbound 605 Freeway will be closed for the weekend, along with the Florence Avenue and Telegraph Road on-ramps, until early Monday morning.

Motorists using Highway 605 will be redirected onto surface streets.

Real-time closures are visible on Caltrans Quick map website.

The section of Highway 605 where the work will take place carries more than 250,000 vehicles per day, the California Department of Transportation said in a statement. Alternate routes include southbound Highways 110 and 710 and State Route 57.

The closures are part of the Super 605 Highway Corridor Projects, which aims to rehabilitate Highway 605 from Long Beach to the San Gabriel Valley. At least 14 additional closures are expected over consecutive weekends and through 2025, but those dates have not been announced.
