Major streets will be closed Monday to accommodate immigrant rights demonstrations, according to the Los Angeles Department of Transportation.


The first march from Broadway and Olympic Boulevard to City Hall from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. will have Broadway closed from Temple Street to 11th Street, prohibiting east-west traffic. Drivers are encouraged to use Alameda Street, Figueroa Street, Flower Street and Cesar Chavez Avenue to circumvent the Broadway closure.


Another demonstration along Wilshire Boulevard from Alvarado Street to La Brea Avenue will run from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wilshire Boulevard will be closed from Alvarado to Cloverdale Avenue from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Vermont, Normandie, Western, Wilton, Highland and La Brea avenues will be open to north-south traffic until 3:45 p.m.


Traffic will reopen as the march proceeds down Wilshire Boulevard after the streets are closed at 3:45 p.m. Wilshire Boulevard traffic will be diverted onto Third Street in the north and Olympic Boulevard in the south. The Department of Transportation will aggressively enforce temporary parking restrictions in place for the march.


Dash service routes A, B, D and the City Hall shuttle will be affected and may be rerouted as necessary. Metro bus service on Broadway and Hill streets in downtown will be interrupted from 10:30 a.m. through 12:30 p.m. Buses normally operating on those north-south streets will operate on Spring or Main streets between Pico Boulevard and Cesar Chavez Avenue. Routes affected by the downtown protest include lines 2, 4, 10, 11, 30, 31, 40, 42, 45, 46, 48, 740 and 745.


The second rally that begins at 4 p.m. on Wilshire Boulevard in MacArthur Park will cause Metro bus lines 20, 21 and 720 to detour along Third Street between Bixel Street and Fairfax Avenue from 2:30 p.m. until 8 p.m.


Northbound and southbound buses that cross Wilshire Boulevard will be interrupted. Passengers will have to exit the bus, cross the parade route and board another Metro bus on the other side.
