  • The left lane on westbound I-10 between Prince and Ruthrauff roads will be closed Thursday, Feb. 27 and Friday, Feb. 28.

On Saturday March 1, the work to shift traffic on I-10 will occur overnight as follows:

  • Eastbound I-10 will be reduced to one lane between Orange Grove Road and Miracle Mile from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.
    • The eastbound I-10 entrance ramp at Sunset Road will be closed.
    • The eastbound I-10 entrance and exit ramps at Ruthrauff Road will be closed.
    • Traffic will be detoured to the eastbound I-10 entrance/exit ramps at Miracle Mile.

 On Sunday, March 2, at 6 a.m., traffic will be traveling on the three inside lanes of eastbound I-10.
