Some are calling it the "Rampture," others "Ramp Jam." But there's no disagreement that Los Angeles' next big freeway shutdown will be a long and serious headache. Saturday drivers in west Los Angeles will be the first to feel the effects of the project, in which eight ramps connecting Wilshire Boulevard and Interstate 405 -- one of the nation's busiest streets and one of its busiest freeways -- will be demolished and rebuilt.The major shutdown is the next phase of the Sepulveda Pass Improvements Project and one of several this summer that could make for an especially rough season for Los Angeles area travelers, commuters and tourists."Ramp Jam" is considerably smaller in size than last summer's so-called "Carmageddon," which saw the shutdown of the entire 405 while part of a bridge was torn down. But while the "Carmageddon" lasted just a weekend, this one will take up to a year, and its long-term effects are bound to be far greater.
