Soledad Canyon section set to close for filming

Come Tuesday night, residents may notice lane closures on Soledad Canyon Road due to filmrelated activity near the Saugus Speedway, the city of Santa Clarita announced Friday.

Closures are scheduled to begin at 10:30 p.m. on Oct. 23, and end at around 4 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 24.

Hard closures are set to take effect during that time at Commuter Way, as well as Schooner’s Plaza. Soft closures between Valley Center Drive and Commuter Way, and between Bouquet Canyon Road and Schooner’s Plaza will allow for residential and business ingress and egress, a traffic alert sent by the city read.

The Santa Clarita Metrolink Station will be accessible for Soledad Canyon Road drivers heading westbound. Eastbound drivers are advised to use a detour that will be in place by taking Bouquet Canyon Road, Newhall Ranch Road, and Valley Center Drive.

Travelers can expect single-lane closures eastbound and westbound on Soledad Canyon Road in front of the Saugus Speedway during the day on Tuesday. While only emergency vehicles will have complete access, regular commuters along this section of the road should plan when traveling during these times or use alternative routes to avoid delays.

From Saturday through Wednesday, temporary film construction is set to take place at the Saugus Speedway parking lot, the city said.
