SR-60 westbound Western Knolls ramps in Beaumont closed to trucks until spring 2027

Since the week of Nov. 9, trucks can no longer use the westbound SR-60 on- and off-ramps at Western Knolls Avenue in Beaumont, Calif. The closure for the Potrero interchange project runs 24 hours a day through spring 2027, with a posted truck detour via I-10.

Why it matters: Westbound trucks that used the Western Knolls Avenue ramps must take the I-10 detour around the clock until spring 2027, so Inland Empire routes through Beaumont need the extra miles built in now.

Port of Los Angeles and Long Beach strike deadline pushed to Nov. 20 as watchmen talks continue

The Pacific Maritime Association and ILWU Local 26, which represents about 250 watchmen who guard terminals in Los Angeles and Long Beach, moved their strike deadline to Nov. 20. Terminals keep working while talks go on with federal mediators.

Why it matters: Drayage drivers and carriers pulling containers out of LA and Long Beach could face shut gates at six terminals if talks fail by Nov. 20. Check terminal notices before dispatch and plan around the Vincent Thomas Bridge closure.
