Portions of four major freeways are shut down.
The Saddleridge fire was creating a nightmare commute for many Friday morning, with major freeways closed and surface streets jammed.
The fire began in Sylmar right off the 210 Freeway, which was the first to close Thursday night. But as the blaze pushed west, it created a domino effect for freeway closures. Now, portions of four major freeways are shut down:Northbound 405 Freeway at the 118 FreewayThe 5 Freeway closure is the most serious because it is California’s major north-south route. With it blocked, the 101 Freeway is the only major alternative approaching Los Angeles from the north.
California Highway Patrol officials also warned commuters coming into L.A. from Santa Clarita and the Antelope Valley to expect gridlock on the roads“If you don’t have to get on the road today, please don’t,” the city of Santa Clarita said.
