Ramps and some lanes of the Ventura Freeway in the Woodland Hills area will be closed tonight and Saturday night as a roadwork project continues, authorities said.
Both westbound Topanga Canyon Boulevard off-ramps will be closed from 10 p.m. today until 7 a.m. Saturday, officials said. The eastbound Ventura Boulevard on- and off-ramps will also be closed during that time.
One freeway lane in each direction will be closed at 10 p.m. today and will be reopened at 7 a.m. Saturday, officials said. On the westbound side, the lane will be closed between Canoga and Woodlake avenues. The eastbound closure will be between Parkway Calabasas and Topanga Canyon Boulevard.
The same closures and times are scheduled for Saturday night, officials said.
The road work is part of the California Department of Transportation’s $61-million project to widen and improve the Ventura Freeway between Agoura Hills and the Hollywood Freeway interchange.
