Major demolition work was set to begin next week, which will also require a 40-hour closure of the 101 Freeway scheduled to being 10 p.m. on Feb. 5, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The freeway will be closed from the 10 Freeway near Union Station to the 5 Freeway interchange south of downtown during the demolition, the newspaper reported earlier this month.
The work will also require the onramp to the 101 Freeway from the westbound lanes of the 60 Freeway to be shut down.

Sad to see the Bridge go. Drive by it all the time.
My parents moved to Normandy near Hollywood Blvd. in 1955. My brother and I took our mother to their old apartment last month in December 2015: clean, felt safe and still a nice location. I talked to a local city planner last week about Normandy and Hollywood area. He said the area has an average income of $100K and the young people there “like a gritty feel to the neighborhood.” After the trip to Normandy we prayed and purchased gifts at Holy Angels church near Gower, the cloistered monastery for Dominican nuns. They sell fudge that goes great with coffee.
