@GoogleMaps, this is wrong (Burbank Blvd.)



Dear Google Maps - there is no exit from northbound Interstate 5 in Burbank, California onto westbound Burbank Blvd.  I thought it had been removed from the map, but it seems to be back.



Here is Google Maps telling me to take that exit:


Here is the exit.  On the far right, you can see the orange construction notice on the exit sign indicating that the westbound exit is closed.


Zoomed in - where it would normally say "WEST" with an arrow to the left it now says "CLOSED" in black on an orange background.  If you took exit 146B you'd see barricades blocking the former lane which is now just dirt (they've already removed the lane).


The exit used to parallel the freeway under Burbank Blvd. and then curve back around.


But now it's a big pile of dirt.  Soon they will be removing the Burbank Blvd. bridge entirely to rebuild around March 14.

P.S. Thanks for finally adding the Empire Blvd. interchange (directly to the north on the 5)
