Seventh Street Bridge Set to Close

The Seventh Street bridge will be closed beginning April 18.  The bridge that travels west towards Cal State Long Beach will be closed for one year due to construction on the nearby freeways.  The plan is to connect the carpool lanes on the Garden Grove Freeway, the San Diego Freeway and the San Gabriel Freeway.

According to Joel Zlotnik, manager of media relations for the Orange County Transportation Authority, the project will also add a second carpool lane to the I-405 between the SR-22 and the I-605.  This is meant to increase driver safety and driving conditions. 

Many students use the bridge to get to school and a few see it as an inconvenience.
