The Mulholland Dr Bridge will be the third bridge demolished and reconstructed to accommodate the widening of the I-405 freeway and to add a northbound high-occupancy vehicle lane through the Sepulveda Pass. The Mulholland Dr Bridge is scheduled to be demolished and reconstructed after the Skirball Center Dr Bridge. When completed, the expanded Mulholland Center Dr Bridge will be widened by approximately 10 feet and will be designed to the latest seismic standards.

To reduce the impacts on local traffic flow, the Mulholland Dr Bridge will be demolished and reconstructed in two separate phases. During July 16 and 17, for example, the south side of Mulholland Dr Bridge was demolished.

Work has begun to form the columns for Bent 1.

Reconstruction has begun on the 608-foot-long bridge and is expected to take approximately 11 months. Upon completion, the northern side of the bridge will be demolished and rebuilt in the same manner.

Framing for Abutment 1 can be found on the east side of Mulholland Dr Bridge.

During reconstruction, the Mulholland Dr Bridge will accommodate one lane of traffic in each direction.

The I-405 project website will have the latest updates regarding construction work, so please check back frequently. Photos documenting the progress of construction can be viewed in the project’s Photo Gallery.
