A damaged Orange County freeway connector was shut down in an emergency closure expected to last through the lunch rush, Caltrans said.
The highway connection between the southbound 5 Freeway and the 55 Freeway was closed at 10 a.m. Monday due to a damaged guardrail, Caltrans said in a statement. The closure was expected to last through 2 p.m.
"Caltrans appreciates the public’s patience while we perform emergency work. Detour signs will be posted to alert motorists of the closure," the statement read.
