LADWP contractors are scheduled to begin permanent road repairs at the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Holloway Drive on October 19, 2026. The project follows a water main break that occurred in the West Hollywood area this past July.
Why it matters
The repairs are necessary to restore infrastructure integrity after the July water main break caused damage to the roadway. These phased improvements ensure the long-term durability of the concrete bus pads and asphalt at this busy intersection.
The repair project is slated for a 4-week duration with lane closures and turning restrictions expected through November 12. For general inquiries regarding the construction, residents can contact the LADWP at 1-800-342-5397.
The players
LADWP
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power is the municipal utility responsible for water and electricity services across the region.
The details
Crews are replacing damaged concrete bus pads and installing new asphalt across the intersection in multiple phases. While cross-street movements will be restricted, at least one lane of traffic will remain open in each direction throughout the duration of the work.
Timeline
July 2026: Original water main break occurred.
October 19, 2026: Road repairs and lane closures begin.
October 19-23, 2026: Crews replace the westbound bus pad.
October 25 - November 2, 2026: Crews work on eastbound bus pads.

Culture Shift
The current repair project follows the July 2026 water main break in West Hollywood, representing the final phase of remediation for the area's utility infrastructure. These efforts reflect a broader shift toward maintaining urban transit infrastructure to ensure consistent daily operations for residents.
Drivers should prepare for restricted right turns from westbound Sunset Boulevard onto Holloway on November 10 and 12. Motorists are advised to plan for potential delays throughout the four-week construction period as cross-street movements remain limited.
The takeaway
Residents should anticipate localized traffic delays and turning restrictions near the intersection through the completion date. Planning alternative routes during these specific phases can help minimize commute times until the project concludes on November 12.
