Construction Activities at Culver Drive/I-5

Bridge Demolition & Pile Installation

Nighttime construction activities and closures are starting for the demolition of the outer portions of I-5 at Culver Drive. This work will require full closures of westbound (WB) and eastbound (EB) Culver. Please note, crews will first close one direction of Culver to complete the bridge work before moving to the opposite direction.

Additional activities at the Culver/I-5 bridge include cast-in-drilled-hole (CIDH) and pile driving to widen structures as a part of project improvements. Intermittent nighttime full closures and lane closures on EB and WB Culver at I-5 will occur during the pile driving activity to support I-5 widening work.

24/7 Long-Term Closure: Crews will install concrete barriers and close inside lanes on Culver at the I-5 bridge in both directions for a 24/7 long-term closure to conduct CIDH activities, to be scheduled this fall. At least one lane in each direction will remain open at all times, unless otherwise noted. Check back for the 24/7 long-term closure implementation date. Once implemented, the long-term closure will remain in place until mid-2027.

Please note: To account for daytime traffic impacts, demolition activities are scheduled during nighttime hours. To account for nighttime noise impacts, pile driving and CIDH activities are scheduled during daytime hours. Both demolition and pile driving activities may be loud at times.

Anticipated Dates:
Demolition: Monday, July 13 through Friday, July 17.
Pile Driving: Mid-July through fall 2026.
CIDH: fall 2026.

Anticipated Hours:
Daytime: As early as 6 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Nighttime: As early as 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.

This work may be loud. The schedule is subject to change due to inclement weather or unforeseen operational issues.
