Advisory - Roadway Closure; INC#1283; 05:14PM; 13215 W Branford St; https://bit.ly/3HILnNB; #Arleta; Natural gas utility workers at scene of an excavation project near the Pacoima Diversion flood control channel, requested LAFD to investigate sudden soil erosion and pavement disruption below the roadway in the 13200 block of Branford Street. Though the minimal appearing damage seems static and has caused no injury or structure damage in the residential neighborhood, LAFD closed a quarter-mile stretch of Branford Street between Arleta Avenue and Beachy Avenue to all traffic until personnel from the City's Department of Public Works can work with utility officials to determine a cause and resolution for the issue. LAFD has departed. Reopening of the roadway will be determined by L.A. Department of Transportation officials.; FS 7; Batt 12; Valley Bureau; Council District 6; E7; CH8; Brian Humphrey
