Redondo Boulevard at Florence Avenue to permanently close beginning May 1

Due to unforeseen soil conditions, Walsh/Shea Corridor Constructors (WSCC) has extended the current closure on Crenshaw Boulevard between Exposition Boulevard and Coliseum Street for the next three weeks to continue excavation and installation of jet-grout panels for the Crenshaw/LAX Transit Project underground station.
Crenshaw Boulevard is scheduled to reopen at 6 a.m. on May 10, 2015.
Jet grouting is a follow-on element of work that supplements the Cutting Soil Mix (CSM) perimeter wall system where utilities penetrated the CSM wall so steel piles could not be installed, therefore the jet grouting will patch these locations along the CSM wall.
Traffic and Metro bus service in the area will continue to be detoured. Signs posted will continue to indicate detouring, also pedestrian access will be keep outside immediate closure area. Metro Expo Line train service will continue normal schedule.
