On Your Mark, Get Set, Go to Pacific Park on the Santa Monica Pier for the 'I-405 Closure' Free Unlimited Ride Pass and Construction Cone Colored Cotton Candy

The "I-405 Closure" Valley zip code offer is subject to verification with proper ID by the individual, valid for up to five unlimited ride passes per group and limited to one group redemption per day.

Metro and Caltrans are set to impose an unprecedented full freeway closure of I-405 for 53 consecutive hours through the Sepulveda Pass from U.S. 101 to I-10. The construction will run July 15-18 and will focus primarily on the Mulholland Dr. bridge demolition and reconstruction.

"In a city driven by car culture and outdoor activities, we want to provide Angelenos and Westsiders with an additional option for spending the 'I-405 Closure' weekend," says Jeff Klocke, Director of Marketing and Sales at Pacific Park on the Santa Monica Pier. "If guests can make their way to Pacific Park through the detours and stifling traffic, we want to recognize their efforts with a free unlimited ride pass and/or locally with a free construction cone colored orange cotton candy."
