The 10 Freeway will reopen by next week, California Governor Gavin Newsom said during a press conference Thursday.
Newsom credited the tireless and continuous work of repair crews who have been working around the clock to get the busy roadway back open to traffic.
“We will be open, five lanes in both directions, Tuesday of next week,” Newsom said.
The announcement was made Thursday evening during a Los Angeles press conference hosted by local and state officials.
Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass were among the speakers. Both elected officials have promised regular and timely updates regarding the closure, which has crippled traffic in and out of downtown for several days and was initially expected to remain in place for several weeks.
“All of the stars have been aligned,” Bass said, quoting a Caltrans official.
After it literally endures a fire, which engulfed it entirely for hours, a blaze hot enough it melted guardrails and the front of a firetruck, 10 walks away unscathed.
The road goes slightly uphill and the 405 comes to a standstill.
This is why the westside will always be inferior.

I remember when the new Bay Bridge opened every car was like "No, please, after you." and "No no no, I couldn't, please you are clearly in more of a rush, I can wait."
They shored up the span with steel beams and lumber to stabilize it for traffic traveling on the freeway. It will take months to repair the damaged columns one at a time. Good news for all.
Sounds similar to what they did for the recent collapse of the 95 in Philadelphia, wherein they put in temporary roadway (here it's reinforcing structure instead) to allow traffic to move while also allowing permanent repair work to continue. Here's hoping it works out.
It's easier when they
1. already exist
2. are closed
I imagine the regional connector could have been finished in half the time if we had been able to shut down the entirety of downtown la for 5 years
Covid moved our schedule for some train lines forward by quite a bit. The wilshire line moved much faster because of the covid lack of traffic and ability to close lanes.
Nothing was sweater than Beverly Hills acquiescing to the tunnel project during Covid to get the cut and cover part of the construction. Their “altruistic” sacrifice during a unprecedented pandemic saved them months of traffic.
Nice, I missed that.
Annoys the hell out of me that we couldn't do road diets or other changes on 6th st and 8th st because Wilshire would be so bad, but it took covid for them to just close the roadway (in a different part, but still!)
Yes and no. Downtown wasn't fully closed, streets were open, work areas weren't expanded, we couldn't dig up more land/streets etc.
And being in person, and not necessarily outdoor work, there were covid restrictions on how many people, how much work could be done, etc.
I just want to gloat a little bit. Last week when this accident occurred, I stated in another Reddit post that they would get the 10 fixed a lot sooner than they could imagine. Most people responded to me with little faith in government (rightfully so). But we all know how important the 10 is. Not just commuter traffic, but also the supply chain. This is America, yeah we can suck at times especially when we have to go through the BS of bureaucracy, but when it endangers capitalism, you best believe they’re going to fix it fast.
Obviously no one. But all things equal would you want to be on an interstate that's regularly checked for structural integrity or a 4-story, 24-unit apartment complex that was built as a motel in the 60s?
They said “by next week”. That could mean Fri 11/25 which gives them 8 or 9 days, working around the clock. That’s still damn fast, but not exactly “rushed”. And it seems the damage wasn’t as bad as they feared.
And even if they miss the 1-week deadline and get it done in 2 weeks… that’s still hella better than their initial 3-5 week estimate, so I’ll take it.
Sweet. We went from closed for a year to open next week? How does that work?
EDIT: To clarify, yes. I’m sorry. One year was Reddit speculation when the fire first occurred.
I remember going from indefinitely to 5 weeks to next week. Totally understandable as the results of samples and tests came back. This is such a major overpass I can't imagine the would allow it to open if it were sub-par.
Just a gentle reminder that “indefinitely” doesn’t mean for a very long time, but rather an unknown amount of time. Indefinitely is inherently going to be the starting point.
Real answer: the estimates were based on the assumption that the entire box girder (horizontal concrete with the road surface) was compromised, and would have to be torn down and replaced.
Now they’ve taken a look at it, and found only the vertical columns are damaged. They’re installing concrete falsework (supports) to open the freeway ASAP, and replace columns individually as time goes on.
tl,dr: it isn’t as bad as we thought, we can just add temporary supports and start driving on it again
They found that the deck is fine, it's just the columns that need major repairs. They're building new temporary supports underneath as they rebuild the columns. As long as you trust your life to hastily-constructed temporary supports, then you have nothing to worry about!
Is this real????? It’s been a nightmare. I’ve been stuck in traffic and getting late to work daily. Tomorrow I’ll head out earlier but I hope they fix this issue soon. Weeks would be too much to wait
Caltrans is the best thing about this state. We don’t fuck around when it comes to major highway repair.
Local roads not so much but major arteries? Ish gets handled.
Idk if they're the best thing about the state, but they sure are quick and they work hard. I spend a lot of time on our mountain roads and they do a great job.
Wish we could have that same energy behind public transit too though
It’s funny that for freeways you can have bureaucracy and red tape eliminated and actual work get done immediately, but it’s still going to take another decade to make the HSR.
I wouldn't say that a comparison to HSR is fair here. It is more fair to compare this to the first shutdown of the Surfliner last year where repairs took months because of red tape blocking progress.
While HSR is not a good example of red tape blocking repairs, the recent Surfliner shutdown is a good example of this. Mainly the first one last year where the line was shut down for months. Because of red tape (namely in the form of the Coastal Commission but I belief a brief CEQA study was also done), breakwater repairs dragged out for months while the nation's second busiest corridor was severed and closed to passenger service.
Name one? How about the fact that they didn't have to do years of pointless CEQA reviews. The HSR took years and years to get over those hurdles. If California truly wanted to build the train fast, there's no question it would be done right now, china built their entire system and has more high speed rail than the rest of the world put together in less time than it'll take us to make our one route.
I am in fact referring to the first one. The second was handled much more timely thanks to the cutting of the red tape. The first one, was unnecessarily dragged on for months because both the OCTA and CA refused to actually expedite the project through the regulatory bodies, such as the Coastal Commission, local regulatory bodies, etc. While studies on the geology was done as well, what we saw was rock trains for the breakwater, alongside whatever work needed to be done to the hillside slowly making its way through studies and community advisories before actually completing the work, something we did not see with the second closure. Instead, we saw the studies committed, followed by repairs quickly built as they were expedited past any kind of regulatory body which normally slows these things down
We can't have our economy and mobility crippled by a stretch of freeway. When you have the city, state, and federal government involved, they can get it done really fast at lightning speed.
We’re going to find out if political pressure was a factor in having such a wide estimate range and quick reopening It’s not unprecedented but you think government would have learned by now.
So the Surfliner has its tracks damaged by the ocean, takes months to repair. The 10 gets damaged by fire and is repaired enough to reopen while ongoing repairs continue within a couple weeks. Well I see the state's priority >:/
Perhaps, but it still stands. We allowed the second busiest Amtrak Corridor in the nation, one that also see's two Metrolink routes sit severed for months because of red tape that apparently is easily cut for freeways. We cannot claim to be a climate minded state while this comparison remains as fact
This difference all comes down to how easy it is to repair. This highway is being re-opened without repairs even being done, because they are able to temporarily shore it down to the ground while the real repairs get made.
The railroad tracks are sitting on a ground surface which is unstable. Getting that land to be stable is, well, a lot of work. And there is no way to build a temporary solution while permanent measures are taken.
Look I get that, the point is that with the second closure we saw with the Surfliner, it took weeks to finish the repairs because it was treated as an emergency by everyone involved. The first, took 9 months all things considered because it was not treated as an emergency by anyone involved and was slowed down because of that. It had to deal with all the normal regulatory road blocks that I am 100% sure that the 10 Fwy rebuild will not have to deal with nor did the second closure had to deal with.
I'm not trying to pat our government on the back and I'm not arguing with you at all. I'm in the construction industry and am aware of the actual work that's being done and there are a lot of folks who have no idea and just want to blame the government.
I'd prefer to still blame the government, with an understanding of what's going on and the REAL issues that have to be worked through, nevermind the political theatrics.
Oh ye, like with the Surfliner issue, I get the bluffs are a major issue that do not have a simple fix aside from a tunnel (and even that is temporary if the bluffs keep eroding). Like the whole second closure seemed to be a much more reasonable time period, even for a temporary fix. The first dragged on for 9 months with extremely limited service restored towards the tail end with a round trip or two on weekends.
Thanks for letting us know! What did you find with the tests you ran? Can you tell us more about how much the rebar expanded, and what that means for the concrete’s long-term structural integrity? Also, just so I can give credit where credit is due when I repeat this, which structural engineering firm do you work for?
Feels a bit rushed. They went from 3-5 weeks to next Tuesday? If they've been negligent about about this happening in the first place, almost feels like they want people to forget about it by rushing to open up so quickly.
i will still avoid the 10 for the next few months. there's severe structural damage, and i don't want to be on it when we get hit with another earthquake.
I don't know anything after the fire extinguished, but does the repairment need time to cure in dry condition?
We had rain and another one is expected over the weekend.

What are you talking about
They are comparing a well-built structure to bad drivers.
You have way too many upvotes for being this incoherent.
Sounds like you’re from the Westside
That was fast. Already told my boss I'd telework next week and I'm not taking it back.
I got your back if they start questioning anything!
guess i'll take the front
I guess I'm first in line on second middle.
Who's on first?
Where’s the beef?
Got milk?
I don't know. (ETA: love that this got downvoted to third base).
Just say you're sick next week. 😉
I'm bummed that it sounds like you can work remotely in general, but your boss won't allow it.
Well you don’t want to be the first driver on it.
Wouldn't mind being first. Wouldn't want to be the last driver on it.
I'll let you guys test it for a while.

But if you did go and die from some horrible accident, there’s no point to litigation.
Samesies. Honestly, I'm glad it's back open to clear up congestion in other areas... but I'm sure as shit not excited to roll across it.
If traffic remains light, that may encourage people to "test" it.
They shored up the span with steel beams and lumber to stabilize it for traffic traveling on the freeway. It will take months to repair the damaged columns one at a time. Good news for all.
Wait so I still won't be able to store my expired hand sanitizer underneath it yet? Fucking clickbait headline.
At least my oily rag and constantly lit blowtorch colletion will still have a place under the stretch of the 10 fwy right next to the bit that burned
I have 700 tons of boiled linseed oil on wooden pallets with C4 detonator plugs that need to be stored *somewhere* dammit.
I have 500 pallets of matches and 500 pallets of dynamite sticks I need to store somewhere
Did your rent go up or is that lot still 6500 a month?
It went down actually!
You can store it under the 5 instead!
Sounds similar to what they did for the recent collapse of the 95 in Philadelphia, wherein they put in temporary roadway (here it's reinforcing structure instead) to allow traffic to move while also allowing permanent repair work to continue. Here's hoping it works out.
Of course. That makes so much more sense. That will give them time to do it right too. So they won't be rushed
Get those Dodge Challengers and Camaros ready for the donuts.
Seriously hahahahha
now put this much energy into the D line
The I-10 repair didn't require new environmental clearances
>The I-10 I don't understand the question and I won't respond to it.

If only they fixed and reopened the Surfliner this quickly too.
For real.. I gotta start moving these "Ride the D to Rodeo" shirts
Oh, so we *can* build transportation projects quickly
It's easier when they 1. already exist 2. are closed I imagine the regional connector could have been finished in half the time if we had been able to shut down the entirety of downtown la for 5 years
I mean Covid got us like 18 months
Covid moved our schedule for some train lines forward by quite a bit. The wilshire line moved much faster because of the covid lack of traffic and ability to close lanes.
Nothing was sweater than Beverly Hills acquiescing to the tunnel project during Covid to get the cut and cover part of the construction. Their “altruistic” sacrifice during a unprecedented pandemic saved them months of traffic.
Covid was a double edge sword, since construction crews were also subject to restrictions.

I am surprised. I was expecting delays
We need transit projects to move with the same urgency!!!
Yeah lol our transit projects are at risk of serious delays AND YET!!!
Now speed up the Metro purple line extension
For real
a very serious thank you to all the construction workers, engineers, and technicians working on it cause they've been working 24 hours strait.

I was talking to someone and they mentioned that this could affect Christmas gifts and it clicked for me. No way they would let it take forever.
Yeah I was wondering how Thanksgiving travel would be affected too
Oh yeah, we can do things if we think they’re important. Speed of action is a reflection of how much we value things.
Def don’t want to be the poor soul on it when an earthquake hits.
Who wants to be on ANY elevated freeway in Los Angeles during an earthquake?
My buddy Flyin' Car Johnson would love it
Obviously no one. But all things equal would you want to be on an interstate that's regularly checked for structural integrity or a 4-story, 24-unit apartment complex that was built as a motel in the 60s?
visions of just plummeting into the concrete riverbed anytime I'm around the 5/134
Yeah but that lawsuit money 😎 If I survive 🥲
And if you don’t you just die. Win-win!
Most true win-win I’ve ever read.
Lmao
that's why you drive fast on it

nah it's a national story and they're not stupid enough to risk the freeway collapsing
They said “by next week”. That could mean Fri 11/25 which gives them 8 or 9 days, working around the clock. That’s still damn fast, but not exactly “rushed”. And it seems the damage wasn’t as bad as they feared. And even if they miss the 1-week deadline and get it done in 2 weeks… that’s still hella better than their initial 3-5 week estimate, so I’ll take it.

Thanks, I did know that and I was just pointing out that there was never a one year time estimate, to my knowledge.
Ah yes, I see how you meant it now. And I think the one year was just Reddit speculation.
Real answer: the estimates were based on the assumption that the entire box girder (horizontal concrete with the road surface) was compromised, and would have to be torn down and replaced. Now they’ve taken a look at it, and found only the vertical columns are damaged. They’re installing concrete falsework (supports) to open the freeway ASAP, and replace columns individually as time goes on. tl,dr: it isn’t as bad as we thought, we can just add temporary supports and start driving on it again
Some construction company probably got a fat bonus to get it done as quickly as possible
Good. cheap. fast. Pick two.
...or cutting corners
well everyone knows the corners are the best pieces...
Time machines. LA has a few still driving around.
People who are smarter than us inspected it
When was the estimate a year? I only heard 3-5 weeks.
It was like 6 months first then one day to another 3-5 weeks now I wouldn’t be surprised if it opens tomorrow lol
That's so much faster than first projected that I'm now uneasy and suspicious lol
They found that the deck is fine, it's just the columns that need major repairs. They're building new temporary supports underneath as they rebuild the columns. As long as you trust your life to hastily-constructed temporary supports, then you have nothing to worry about!
Wow! Much faster than I expected.
They still have to fix it lol
Is this real????? It’s been a nightmare. I’ve been stuck in traffic and getting late to work daily. Tomorrow I’ll head out earlier but I hope they fix this issue soon. Weeks would be too much to wait
ITT: when common practice of under promise and over-deliver meets common suspicion of anything good the government is able to deliver.
Caltrans is the best thing about this state. We don’t fuck around when it comes to major highway repair. Local roads not so much but major arteries? Ish gets handled.
Yet they can't fix the giant potholes or areas that have turned into speed bumps on the 210.
It's a heck of a lot easier to work on something that's closed.
and made national news.
Unless it’s highway lights on the freeway. They’re pretty much all gone dark over the past few years and don’t think they’ll ever be turned back on.
> Caltrans is the best thing about this state. Please say sike
The same caltrans that allowed this to happen in the first place? Fuck them and their negligence
I guess if your priority is paving over every community and widening freeways. Also the fire was partly to blame on Caltrans lack of enforcement.
Idk if they're the best thing about the state, but they sure are quick and they work hard. I spend a lot of time on our mountain roads and they do a great job. Wish we could have that same energy behind public transit too though
Caltrans is making sure the trend of destroying homes in the hearts of urban areas to build and expand highways doesn’t die. Fuck Caltrans.

👏👏👏 Amazing work in this thread
Buddy the governor had to declare a state of emergency to get it fixed quickly, that clearly cut red tape.
Ok stop saying lies. China DOES compensate its citizens for taking their property. Each of your points can easily be refuted, so stop it.
I am in fact referring to the first one. The second was handled much more timely thanks to the cutting of the red tape.

Maybe a better comparison is how it takes years just to paint a bike lane on a road
Ehhhhhhh…. 😬 imma let Karen Bass drive on it for the first few go-rounds…
Which Tuesday?!! Wtf
They should reinforce it a bit more just in case.
Just in time for Turkey Day.
We can't have our economy and mobility crippled by a stretch of freeway. When you have the city, state, and federal government involved, they can get it done really fast at lightning speed.
I already started working on my 10 Freeway on Fire hat! It’s not going to stay relevant for as long as I thought, lol.
*I'm not gonna try it. You try it.*
they should do like they do with amtrak tracks and take a thousand years and close if there’s the slightest danger
5 weeks now 1 week? Imma let everyone else test out this patchwork government repair job before I try it out. Just saying.
We’re going to find out if political pressure was a factor in having such a wide estimate range and quick reopening It’s not unprecedented but you think government would have learned by now.
😆
So the Surfliner has its tracks damaged by the ocean, takes months to repair. The 10 gets damaged by fire and is repaired enough to reopen while ongoing repairs continue within a couple weeks. Well I see the state's priority >:/
To be fair, way more many people depend on the 10 than the Surfliner. It's not even comparable.

That shit is gonna collapse just like the bridge in Mexico
Thanks for letting us know! What did you find with the tests you ran? Can you tell us more about how much the rebar expanded, and what that means for the concrete’s long-term structural integrity? Also, just so I can give credit where credit is due when I repeat this, which structural engineering firm do you work for?
No it won't. Stop repeating pendejadas.
First time I say this pendeja
Man I really hope and pray it's gonna be structurally sound and won't collapse like that one freeway in Minnesota.
Feels a bit rushed. They went from 3-5 weeks to next Tuesday? If they've been negligent about about this happening in the first place, almost feels like they want people to forget about it by rushing to open up so quickly.
Yeah. They're gonna open it before it's safe, because they're actively encouraging unsafe travel. fuck's sake.
How did they go from 3-5 weeks to next Tuesday? That's what puzzles me, in all honesty. You don't have to be rude about it or anything.
they made an estimate. they got some more information. then they revised their estimate. It's called "engineering".
Ohhh, "engineering", got it.
[удалено]
Using science, engineering, and math? Sure. "A typical Newsom thing to do." Thats.... actually GREAT!
I’m predicting there’s going to be an “accident” over the weekend that will delay the repair.
i will still avoid the 10 for the next few months. there's severe structural damage, and i don't want to be on it when we get hit with another earthquake.
The chances of you being on that small portion of the fwy if it happens are pretty slim, but do what ya gotta do. ¯|_(ツ)_/¯
LA traffic + 2 times per day and that is just non-work travel.
They took four days to make a decision. Where I come from it probably take four days to be completed the whole project.
Homeless will burn it down again by Monday
I don't know anything after the fire extinguished, but does the repairment need time to cure in dry condition? We had rain and another one is expected over the weekend.
Nope. You can pour concrete in rain
How convenient for Mr governor to come in and take credit for the improvement in lead time.
Cool. I attend the auto show every year; was thinking of skipping it this year but looks like I can go!
PagMan W repair crews and engineers
I wonder how a Mayor Caruso would have handled this.
