County Closes Lincoln Ave Bridge to Repair Fire Damage
Altadena route shutdown affects disaster corridor with no reopening date set
Los Angeles County Public Works has temporarily closed the Lincoln Avenue bridge in Altadena due to fire damage requiring repairs. The closure, which began on May 13 at 6:30 a.m., affects a key segment between West Altadena Drive and West Palm Street in the unincorporated region of Los Angeles County. County officials have yet to determine when the bridge will reopen.
The emergency closure impacts a designated disaster route in Supervisorial District 5, potentially affecting emergency response capabilities in the area.
The damaged bridge is one of six current closures affecting disaster routes throughout Los Angeles County’s unincorporated areas.
County officials have not provided an estimated reopening date, listing the timeline as “to be determined” on the official closure documentation. The shutdown was not planned but implemented as an emergency response to the fire damage, officially designated as “fire damage to bridge” in Los Angeles County Public Works documentation.
This Lincoln Avenue closure is one of 32 active road closures, along with 4 planned road closures, currently affecting Los Angeles County’s unincorporated areas.
