Coldwater Canyon Report, II
Project is on schedule as multiple city departments work on this important project.
This is the second update in a series of notifications regarding a project to install a new 60-inch pipe underneath Coldwater Canyon Avenue to ensure the safety and reliability of our drinking water. As you know, the project cannot be done without closing Coldwater Canyon, between Ventura Boulevard and Mulholland Drive, from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays and from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays.
However, please note that construction will pause tomorrow, Friday March 29, and Coldwater Canyon will not be closed during working hours. The road will be open to through traffic.
Work began last Saturday, March 23rd, and is expected to last through April 25. During construction, commuters will not be allowed into the work zone as access to Coldwater Canyon, between Ventura Boulevard and Mulholland Drive, will be restricted to those with local access passes. Our office has continued to work with local agencies to ensure a smooth flow of traffic and asked that traffic safety officers from the LAPD and the Dept. of Transportation increase their presence to alleviate traffic congestion during the closure hours.

So far, the DWP has completed the installation of steel beams and shoring plates at each of the three connection points along Coldwater Canyon. Excavation at these locations is underway and should be completed in the coming days. Once both pipes are completely excavated, the crew will begin welding them together. This work is expected to take place next week. All reports indicate that the project is on schedule and going well.
Please feel free to contact our office if you have any questions or concerns and to sign up for email alerts, please don't hesitate to send a note to Geoffrey.Yazzetta@lacity.org with our office.
