California Governor Gavin Newsom announced that the 10 Freeway in downtown Los Angeles, which has been closed since November 11 due to an arson fire, will reopen ahead of schedule. Some lanes may open as soon as Sunday night, with full reopening expected for Monday morning's commute. The investigation into the arson fire revealed violations by the company leasing the land underneath the freeway, and the state has taken over four of their five leases. Caltrans is reviewing similar leases to determine if other companies are in violation. The investigation into the arson fire is ongoing, and anyone with information is encouraged to call the Cal Fire arson hotline.
