Los Angeles Freeway Set to Reopen After Arson Fire

Fire was fueled by flammable materials stored under the roadway, leading to scrutiny of leasing practices.

Los Angeles freeway, closed due to an arson fire, is set to reopen ahead of Monday morning's commute, a day earlier than previously announced.
The fire was fed by flammable materials stored under the roadway in violation of a company’s lease.
State investigators have repeatedly identified fire and safety hazards at the leased storage space under the freeway.
Apex Development Inc., the company that leased the land under the freeway, is under scrutiny for numerous lease violations.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has announced that the state will reassess the practice of leasing land under roads.
