What it covers
In the eruv's own words, the boundary begins at the corner of the 10 Freeway and Western Avenue, continues north on Western Avenue to Santa Monica Boulevard, west on Santa Monica Boulevard to Cahuenga Boulevard, north to the 101 Freeway, northwest along the south side of the 101 to the 405, south along the east side of the 405 to the 10, and east along the north side of the 10 back to Western Avenue.
The eruv notes that the exact path is subject to change as it adjusts to construction projects. Check your own street against the published boundary — ShulMap does not work out coverage from a perimeter description.
