In Los Angeles they’re calling it “Carmageddon”: the closing of 10 miles of  San Diego Freeway, the fabled “405” from West L.A. to the San Fernando Valley. The road will be closed for 55 hours over the weekend to tear down a bridge as part of a freeway widening project. In case of a plumbing emergency you should call a plumber on the right side of the Santa Monica Mountains.

Over 500.000 cars usually take that route over the weekend, and it won’t be easy to find alternate routes, since the freeway crosses the Santa Monica mountains in one of only four passes, and the other three are two-lane streets.

This means if your plumber is located on the other side of the Santa Monica Mountains, that he might not be able to service you during the weekend. In that case you will have to find local plumbers on the other side of the mountain ridge.
