DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Southern California drivers, warned
of potentially terrible traffic snarls, headed into the Monday
morning commute following a raging pallet fire over the weekend that
closed a portion of the 10 Freeway in downtown Los Angeles.

Many commuters appeared to have heeded warnings.

"In looking at the traffic data earlier this morning, I am somewhat
pleased to say that the congestion was a little bit lighter than
normal," said Rafael Molina, deputy district director for the
division of traffic at the California Department of Transportation.
"However, please - if you don't need to be in downtown Los Angeles -
please avoid those trips."

Cellphones blasted a predawn reminder for residents to plan
alternate commuting routes and to expect significant delays due to
the fire's impact on the freeway.

Why is the 10 Freeway closed?
Hazardous materials teams were clearing burned material from
underneath the freeway to make way for engineers who will ensure the
columns and deck of the structure can support the 300,000 vehicles
that typically travel that route daily, Gov. Gavin Newsom said at a
news conference Sunday.

"Remember, this is an investigation as to the cause of how this
occurred, as well as a hazmat and structural engineering question,"
Newsom said. "Can you open a few lanes? Can you retrofit the
columns? Is the bridge deck intact to allow for a few lanes to
remain open again?"

Newsom said answering those questions would be a "24-7 operation,"
but officials couldn't yet offer a timeline for when the highway
might reopen.

Where is the 10 Freeway closed?
Commuters were urged to work from home or take public transportation
into or around downtown L.A. The mile-long closure between Alameda
Street and the East Los Angeles Interchange will have ripple effects
on surface streets and other key freeways, the California Highway
Patrol said.
