State Highways and Freeways
Caltrans' lane closure feed lists no active closures on freeways or state routes inside Woodland Hills, Canoga Park, West Hills, or Chatsworth as of the 5:49 a.m. update. Two entries in the feed touch the broader area: a one-way traffic operation on Route 27 (Topanga Canyon Boulevard) between Oakwood Drive and Woodland Crest Drive for tree trimming, listed with an expected end time of 2:01 p.m. on Aug. 6 — a time that has already passed, so the log entry may be stale; and northbound I-405 lane closures between Wilshire Boulevard and Skirball Center Drive/Mulholland Drive for K-rail installation, listed as expected to end at 5:59 a.m. today, along with associated full closures of the northbound Moraga Drive ramps and the northbound on-ramp from eastbound Wilshire. Caltrans also lists a southbound I-5 full closure near Paxton Street due to an accident investigation with no estimated reopening time.

The page directs readers to the LADOT news blog for major road closures within the City of Los Angeles and to Caltrans QuickMap for state highway closures, including Pacific Coast Highway and State Route 27–Topanga Canyon. The page also carries a citywide notice pointing to the Los Angeles Emergency Management Department for information and recovery resources following the Lineage warehouse fire in Boyle Heights.
