Construction is underway on the connector roads that link Newport Boulevard with Coast Highway, known as the Arches Interchange.
The work will be completed over the next 18 months.
During the project, the ramp connecting the southeast lanes of Coast Highway to southbound Newport Boulevard will be closed.
Traffic will be detoured onto Balboa Boulevard.
In addition to repairing the interchange ramps, the bridge over the Newport Channel will be rebuilt.
Street improvements on Newport Boulevard between the interchange and Hospital Road will be completed during this time as well.
The area also will be landscaped.
