"Los Angeles Freeway Fire Causes Weeks of Repairs and Disruption for Drivers"

Repairs to the Interstate 10 freeway in Los Angeles, which was damaged by an intentionally set fire, will take three to five weeks to complete. The California Department of Transportation will be repairing the bridge deck and columns, with the possibility of a rebuild if necessary. Los Angeles residents are urged to work together and use public transportation or work from home during the commute disruption. The state is working on a 24-hour operation to expedite the repairs and minimize the closure period.
