There’s good news and bad news for commuters dealing with the 5 Freeway in Norwalk and Santa Fe Springs.

The intersection of Orr and Day Road and Florence Avenue is scheduled to reopen by 5 a.m. Tuesday.

Another closure started Sunday. Caltrans is closing the 5 Freeway from the 605 Freeway to Norwalk Boulevard nightly through Thursday, beginning at 11 p.m. and ending at 5 a.m.

Crews will be working on the Florence Avenue bridge footings. All work will be completed by 5 a.m. Friday.

Caltrans also plans on closing the 5 Freeway from 11 p.m. Thursday to 5 a.m. Friday between Norwalk Boulevard and Carmenita Road.

Then, up to two lanes in the same area will be closed Friday and Saturday nights with the closing time remaining the same but reopening on 7 a.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. Sunday, respectively.

In this case, K-rail is being removed.

Detours with signs will be in place. For more details and maps of detours go to My5LA.com.

The work is part of the overall $1.8 billion, 6.7-mile 5 Freeway widening-project between the Orange County border and the 605 Freeway. The project will add a regular lane and a carpool lane to the existing six-lane freeway.
