TRAFFIC ALERT: Year-long roadwork begins on Sunset Boulevard near UCLA

Tues. June 25, 2019

Sunset road closures spotlight.jpg
Read Press Release >

The City of Los Angeles begins roadwork on Sunset Boulevard near UCLA – starting Tuesday, June 25, and lasting for approximately one year.

This construction project may delay patients, visitors and staff trying to reach the UCLA Stein Eye Institute, Ronald Reagan Medical Center, the Medical Plaza complex and other UCLA Health and David Geffen School of Medicine facilities in Westwood.

According to the LADWP, at least one lane of Sunset in each direction will remain open at all times, with construction moving in increments along two sections:

  • Between the 405 freeway and Bellagio Road, moving eastward in roughly 500-foot increments.
  • Between South Beverly Glen Boulevard and Carolwood Drive.

Work hours will be Monday through Friday from 9 am to 3:30 pm and Saturdays from 8 am to 6 pm. At the end of each work day, the LADWP says, all lanes will be restored to traffic.

Please allow more time for your doctor office visit and do your best to notify your physician in advance if you will be late for an appointment.

Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead and consider alternate routes. Commuting options are available on the UCLA Transportation website.

More information on this project is available on the LADWP's project website. The project hotline is 213-367-6045 or 1-800-DIAL-DWP (1-800-342-5397).
