North Gate Road and the access gate are now open

OC TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY

North Gate Road reopened at about 5 p.m. on Oct. 28. The road and LW’s access gate were closed July 5 to allow crews to install a new 18-inch sewer line underneath I-405, according to the Orange County Transporation Authority (OCTA).

The road is now open to all vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. Access to Leisure World via the North Gate has also resumed.

Residents can enter LW through the North Gate from 6 a.m.-10 p.m., seven days a week.

The road closure was part of the 405 Improvement Project. In cooperation with Caltrans, OCTA is improving 16 miles of the freeway between the SR-73 in Costa Mesa and I-605 near the Los Angeles County line.

OCTA reports that the entire project is more than 85% complete, with work scheduled to wrap up by the end of next year.
