Orange County Transportation Authority officials said construction crews are currently forming the bottom of the new retaining wall along the northbound I-5 off-ramp to Camino de Estrella.
Also, both the Avenida Pico’s southbound I-5 off-ramp and northbound I-5 on-ramp will begin nightly closures on Sunday for roadway widening and vegetation removal activities. The nighttime closures, from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m., will allow crews to safely access the construction areas.
Several Friday night concrete pours are scheduled for the wall, beginning Sept. 25.

Absolutely ridiculous planning by the city. Frwy widening and outlet malls all at the same time just choking traffic in this town. I believe an elementary student could plan better.
