101 Freeway closed in Boyle Heights

Parts of the 101 Freeway connecting Boyle Heights and downtown Los Angeles are shut down as officers wrap up a police investigation.

Parts of the 101 Freeway connecting Boyle Heights and downtown Los Angeles were shut down for hours as officers wrapped up a police investigation.

The southbound lanes of the 101 Freeway heading into the 10 Freeway interchange were closed for several hours before reopening Monday night.

The police activity in the area does not mean the public is in danger. At the time of the road closures, those looking to go in and out of Boyle Heights and downtown Los Angeles were asked to avoid the 101 Freeway and seek alternate routes.
