One short lane to open on 405 freeway

While the 405 widening project slogs along late and over budget, one nugget of good news if you drive that stretch of freeway. As of Friday, a northbound lane will open for 1.7 miles between the 10 Freeway and Santa Monica Boulevard. All drivers, not only carpoolers, will be allowed to use the lane. More details.
