A Closure on I-10 After a Massive Fire Tests Los Angeles Drivers During Rush Hour.

A massive fire over the weekend caused the closure of a major elevated interstate near downtown Los Angeles, resulting in significant traffic disruptions during Monday's commute. However, many commuters heeded warnings and traffic was lighter than normal on some freeways encircling downtown. Hazardous materials teams are clearing burned material from underneath the freeway to make way for engineers to assess the structural integrity of the highway. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, and there is no timeline for when the highway might reopen. Commuters are advised to work from home or use public transportation.
