The City of Santa Clarita, in conjunction with Newhall Land, Metro, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the County of Los Angeles, will construct freeway interchange improvements at Magic Mountain Parkway/I-5 interchange and realignment of The Old Road in the City of Santa Clarita and the County of Los Angeles.
Ramp and street closures will take place throughout construction. These closures will also periodically involve the I-5 mainline lanes. Signs and detours will be posted to assist motorists. In addition, press release updates on closures will be distributed to the media, chambers of commerce and cities within the construction area – as well as posted on the City website (noted below) to keep the public informed as work progresses. Construction dates and closures are weather-permitting and subject to change.
