Construction Activities

Eastbound and Westbound Katella Avenue

Work continues behind the k-rail along eastbound and westbound Katella Avenue between the I-605 freeway and Epson Way in preparation for construction of a new sidewalk and bike lane. Along westbound Katella, daytime and nighttime work includes excavation, electrical work, grading, placement of curb and gutter, as well as forming and striping activities.

In early June, crews are expected to reopen the new sidewalk along eastbound Katella for pedestrian access.

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

Sidewalk Access

While the sidewalks on both eastbound and westbound of Katella are under construction, pedestrians can use a protected walkway on eastbound Katella, which will serve as a temporary pedestrian detour route.

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

Closures and Detours

Please plan ahead and expect delays during these times. Nighttime closures typically occur between 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. Specific closures for the week of June 1 include:

• Outside lanes on eastbound and westbound Katella Avenue/Willow Street, at least one lane will be open to traffic at all times
