Motorists in and around Cerritos have faced continued traffic headaches due to partial closures along the southbound I-605. The closures, which began earlier this summer, are expected to last into the fall as Caltrans works on maintenance and improvement projects (Cerritos.gov).
The city has urged residents to plan ahead, use alternate routes, and allow extra time for commutes. Detour signs have been placed in affected areas, though congestion remains heavy during peak travel hours.
For Cerritos, the project represents an important step toward improving infrastructure, even if it brings short-term inconvenience. Officials emphasized that once completed, the upgrades will enhance road safety and traffic flow.
Local drivers expressed frustration but acknowledged the long-term benefits. One commuter remarked, “It’s a hassle now, but we need smoother roads.”
