Carmageddon (Carpocalypse) in Los Angeles

Running on Empty revisited

For all our Los Angeles readers about to face “Carmageddon” or the “Carpocalypse,” this ones for you. With the shut down of the I-405 freeway cutting through the heart of Los Angeles this weekend, you can expect gridlock all over southern California from Magic Mountain to Disneyland. Ramps along the 10 mile closure will begin to be shut down as early as 7 p.m., and closure of freeway lanes will begin at 10 p.m. to ensure full freeway closure by midnight. The closure will continue until 5 a.m. Monday morning, July 18. Ramps and connectors will be reopened by 6 a.m. During this closure, the Mulholland Bridge, I-405 freeway and access ramps will be closed.

This shutdown will make Ross Ching’s Running on Empty a partial reality. For this weekend, he revisits his car-less highway video with some new music and footage. LA traffic has never been so clear. This can only happen in Hollywood.
