Lane, connector closures coming to 60 Freeway in Diamond Bar

Motorists are being advised to plan ahead of next week’s closure of lanes and ramps on the 60 Freeway in Diamond Bar.    

The closures between Lemon Avenue/Brea Canyon Road and Diamond Bar Boulevard start at midnight Friday and will end at 8 a.m. Sunday, according to the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments.

The closures planned are as follows:

• On Saturday until 6 a.m., the westbound Diamond Bar Boulevard on- ramp and the Grand Avenue on- and off-ramps will be closed, as will the connector between the southbound Orange (57) Freeway to the westbound 60;    
• Also on Saturday, the westbound 60 connector to the southbound 57 will be closed along with the Grand Avenue Bridge;    
• On Sunday, the northbound connector from the 57 Freeway to the eastbound 60 will be closed, as will the on- and off-ramps from the eastbound 60 to Grand Avenue;
• On Sunday, on the westbound 60, the Diamond Bar Boulevard on-ramp will be closed along with the Grand Avenue on- and off-ramps;    
• The westbound connector from the 60 to the southbound 57 will be closed and the Grand Avenue Bridge will also be closed.    

The work is part of an ongoing safety and traffic flow project along a two-mile stretch of the Orange-Pomona freeway interchange.    

A virtual news conference will be held Wednesday morning, when officials will detail the closures and alternative routes.
