SANTA CLARITA – The California Department of Transportation will close the Antelope Valley Freeway (Route 14) in both directions at Escondido Canyon Road on Sunday, May 21, from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. Detours will be posted.
The closure is in relation to a slope stabilization project above Route 14 between Soledad Canyon Road and Escondido Canyon Road. The $12.6 million project involves cutting back the slope and installing retention systems using cable net or wire mesh.
Estimated to complete in spring 2008, the project will increase hillside stability, protect the roadway and improve safety.
