Eyewitness This: Sepulveda Pass drive times up after 405 project, Stevie Wonder surprises local diners, Teacher Appreciation Week deals

Here are some stories to start your day.

405 Freeway drive times increase even after widening construction

Five years after widening the 405 Freeway through the Sepulveda Pass, drive times have reportedly increased at all hours of the day.

It took years of construction and more than $1 billion to open a northbound carpool land and widen 10 miles of the major freeway.

But since then, Curbed L.A. says drive times are longer, mostly because more drivers are on the road.

More than 300,000 drivers commute each day on the infamous thoroughfare - the busiest highway in the country which spans 72 mile throughout the Los Angeles area.

Stevie Wonder surprises L.A. diners with impromptu performance
