Sky5 was overhead at 7:45 a.m. as Caltrans was setting up cones to keep motorists out of the closed lanes.

Ventura Boulevard between Tampa Avenue and Winnetka Avenue was also seeing heavy delays Tuesday morning due to motorists trying to avoid the backup on the freeway.

It was initially unclear how long the lanes would remain closed. “Yeah, it’s going to be a while longer,” KTLA’s Rich Prickett stated.
