Here on the East Coast, I just watched a feature on ABC's "Nightline" about the 405 closure. They said that ten miles of the road would be out of commission. Seems like this is going to affect a lot of people.
But they never actually said why the freeway is being closed. There was a reference at the beginning of the story to summertime being the time for road construction, so I'm assuming that's the reason. But nothing at all was specifically said in the news report. Just sloppy reporting, I guess.
Paris Hilton tweeted that she will be staying home this weekend. Tom Hanks advised people to avoid the 405. Erik Estrada filmed a public service TV commercial.
In addition to avoiding the freeway, alternative forms of transportation are also being encouraged.
Hmmm... Looks like the end of civilization as we know it!
