Portion of southbound 5 freeway in far north LA County to close tonight for repairs
Efforts to fix a major storm-caused landslide in northern Los Angeles County will get underway Saturday night, April 1 — and could cause problems for nighttime drivers trying to travel south on the 5 Freeway this weekend.
The series of maelstroms that have hit Southern California recently caused a landslide in Castaic, which caused a portion of the roadway on the southbound 5 Freeway to break away, according to Caltrans.
