All they're doing is demolishing half of the bridge. Bridge demolition is often done in the course of a weekend on UK motorways too.

BBC News - Carmageddon: LA braces for traffic gridlock

What caught my eye was this though:

Workers plan to add more lanes to a 10-mile (16km) section of the freeway....Transport officials say the highway is being closed to replace the 50-year-old Mulholland Bridge, as part of a $1bn (£600m) project to add additional lanes to a bottlenecked segment of the highway....Interstate 405, the main artery through the city, will be closed for 53 hours...
