Ramp closures along I-5 through Burbank take effect
State transportation officials on Thursday announced the latest round of planned ramp closures along the Golden State (5) Freeway through Burbank as crews work to build a new carpool lane.
The nearly $58-million project -- which will include a carpool lane on the Interstate 5 between the Ventura (134) Freeway and Magnolia Boulevard in Burbank, sound walls and retaining walls – is scheduled to be completed in late 2014.
