Traffic in WeHo a Bit More of a Grind Through Friday

As part of efforts to maintain and improve roadways and major corridors, the City of West Hollywood’s Facilities and Field Services Division will coordinate a four-day project to grind and overlay existing roadway asphalting several city streets, including Santa Monica Blvd an Fountain.

Work is underway and will run through Friday afternoon this week. Motorists are urged to plan ahead and use alternate routes in anticipation of potential delays. Crews will be mindful of peak congestion hours and will seek to reduce impacts to traffic flow as much as possible.

A major section of work will be on Santa Monica Boulevard from Crescent Heights Boulevard to La Brea. Work will also be performed on Fountain Avenue, Norton Avenue, Beverly Boulevard, and N. La Cienega Boulevard.

Grind and overlay work to existing roadway asphalt is considered minor; the work will involve removal and smoothing of patchwork potholes.

Work crews will adhere to all roadway construction procedures and will maintain at least one lane of traffic through the work area at all times. Temporary “No Parking” signs will be posted 72 hours in advance of affected work areas.

Specific improvement locations include:

• Santa Monica Boulevard from N. Crescent Heights Boulevard to N. La Brea Avenue, at various locations;
• N. La Brea Avenue northbound and southbound lanes, at two locations; 
• Fountain Avenue eastbound lanes, at N. Detroit Street; 
• Norton Avenue at and near Crescent Heights Boulevard;
• Beverly Boulevard westbound lanes at N. Doheny Drive and eastbound lanes at N. Robertson Boulevard; and
• N. La Cienega Boulevard southbound lanes, just north of Holloway Drive.
