An empty Interstate 10 remains closed after a fire burned under the freeway in downtown Los Angeles shortly after midnight on Nov. 11, 2023. Gov. Gavin Newsom held a press conference on Tuesday where he stated that the fire was deliberately set and that the freeway may be in better shape than first thought. Interstate 10 is one of the country's major coast-to-coast freeways and has iconic status in Southern California. A weekend fire not only damaged the freeway but once again made it the center of political attention.
