The Nov. 11 blaze, fed by flammable materials stored under the roadway in violation of a company's lease, shut a mile-long stretch of Interstate 10 near downtown, snarling traffic as repair crews worked around the clock.
Newsom said recent safety inspections showed the span was safe to start reopening Sunday evening and that the freeway would be 'fully operational' before Monday's rush hour.
Padilla estimated the initial repairs, which are expected to be covered by federal funds, would cost $3 million.
