California officials warn of Carmageddon 2.0, tell residents to steer clear of highway, Fox News reported. For most Angelenos, they remember where they were on the harrowing weekend eight years ago when Interstate 405 was shut down in both directions. They had been bracing for it for months, ready for the nightmarish hellscape that would undoubtedly unfold before them. Then it happened. Well, nothing happened because residents stayed off the roads and all was well. California highway officials are hoping for a repeat performance at the end of April as Carmageddon 2.0 threatens once more to rear its ugly head. "This will be the largest freeway closure in Los Angeles since September 2012 when we closed Interstate 405 in both directions," John Bulinski, the state Department of Transportation's local director, said Thursday. #CA
