Attention Members: Upcoming June 12-13 Lane Closures with Detour Information

State of California • Department of Transportation

Traffic Advisory

Date:       June 9, 2025

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Overnight Closure of Northbound State Route 47 between Interstate 710 and Henry Ford Avenue Planned for June 12

LOS ANGELES – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) announces the overnight closure of northbound State Route 47 (SR-47) between the Seaside Freeway (Interstate 710) and Henry Ford Avenue on the evening of Thursday, June 12.

The closure of SR-47 will begin at 9 p.m. on Thursday, June 12 until at 6 a.m. Friday, June 13. Crews will be removing the temporary k-rails and restore the Henry Ford off-ramp to its full width following a long-term lane reduction.

The detour routes are as follows:

  • Northbound/eastbound Seaside Freeway traffic will be diverted to Anaheim Boulevard.
  • Southbound/westbound Seaside Freeway traffic will be diverted to the northbound Interstate 110 connector and then Henry Ford Avenue.

Portable message signs displaying closure information have been deployed in the area.

The closure is part of a nearly $35 million stormwater project along SR-47 aimed at improving Caltrans’ drainage facilities near highway ramps, a railroad bridge, and low-lying areas of the parallel Pier A Way. A high-capacity water pump plant, drainage inlets, and guardrails will be installed by the project.

Caltrans reminds drivers to “Be Work Zone Alert” and to “Slow for the Cone Zone.”
