The good news, that stretch of Victory will remain open during the estimated two-week project. However, there will be “lane closures and detours,” which will occur “during the daytime and sometimes at night,” according to a news release from Burbank officials. Also, lookout for “no parking” signs and other restrictions in the construction area.

The plan by Burbank Public Works Department is to “repave the roadway with rubberized asphalt.” When it’s all done, motorists should experience a smoother ride on that section of Verdugo Avenue.That should make the traffic hassle worth it.
