"Several California lawmakers are questioning the efficacy of the state’s transportation agencies after a major interstate in Southern California was unexpectedly shut down three times in the last three months.
"California state Sen. Catherine Blakespear led an inquiry and wrote a letter Monday to the California Department of Transportation, the California Highway Patrol and the San Diego Police Department, questioning the three abrupt freeway closures on Interstate 5. The interstate is a major route connecting San Diego to Orange County and Los Angeles. Blakespear led the charge, along with seven other lawmakers.

With that being the case, it’s crucial that we limit freeway closures as much as possible and we manage them thoughtfully, when they do occur,” lawmakers wrote in the letter." . . .
