A fire that broke out under the 10 Freeway in Los Angeles has led to its indefinite closure, causing significant disruptions to traffic and daily life. The fire, which started near East 14th and Alameda streets, caused substantial damage to the freeway's steel guardrails and firetrucks. The exact cause of the fire remains undetermined, with investigations ongoing.

The closure of this central segment of Interstate 10, a main artery for commuters to and from the San Gabriel Valley, has led to longer commutes for Southern California residents. The duration of the shutdown remains unclear, with officials estimating that repairs could take three to five weeks. Despite the inconvenience, many residents are adapting by using alternate routes and adjusting their schedules.

In response to the closure, Metro Los Angeles and Metrolink have provided information on train and bus routes, with Metrolink increasing its train service in and out of Downtown Los Angeles. Some residents are also considering remote work options to avoid the affected area. Updates on the situation can be found on various online platforms.

The fire started under the overpass at Alameda Street and was fueled by wood pallets stored at a property leased from Caltrans by Apex Development Inc. The company had stopped paying rent and was subleasing the site without permission. Reports suggest that an encampment near the fire's origin housed over a dozen people, but it is unclear if this was connected to the fire.

The freeway closure has been compared to the traffic congestion experienced during Lakers or Dodgers games. The closure is also expected to slow the transport of goods from the twin ports of LA and Long Beach, which handle more than half the goods coming into the country. In response to the situation, Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency.
