Two lanes of traffic in each direction will be open on Crenshaw Boulevard between MLK Boulevard and Stocker Street, during the majority of construction. For the first two months, left turn lanes on Crenshaw Boulevard between MLK Boulevard and Stocker Street will be prohibited. These left turn lanes will be restored after two months.

An additional street closure is scheduled for Friday, May 16, on Crenshaw Boulevard between Exposition Boulevard and Rodeo Place.

The 8.5-mile Crenshaw/LAX Transit Project is a $2.058 billion light rail that will connect Metro’s Expo and Green Lines with eight new stations. When the Crenshaw/LAX line opens to the public in 2019, passengers and customers will be able to travel to work, medical care, entertainment, shopping, school and other activities all over the entire Los Angeles region. It also will help revitalize the local and regional economy.

Construction of the Crenshaw/LAX Transit Project moves to a new phase, supporting the underground construction at the Martin Luther King and Exposition stations.
Traffic reconfigurations are set to begin May 2, 2014.
Crenshaw Bl/Martin Luther King Bl to Stocker St
Crenshaw Bl will be fully closed, from Martin Luther King Bl to Stocker St, from 10pm Friday, May 2 through Saturday 1pm, May 3.
Crenshaw Bl/Exposition Bl to Coliseum St
Crenshaw Bl will also be fully closed between Exposition Bl and Coliseum St from 10pm, Friday May 16 through 1pm Saturday, May 17.
The contractor will modify traffic configurations along portions of Crenshaw Bl during construction of the Martin Luther King and Exposition underground stations, maintaining two lanes of traffic in each direction. Traffic modifications mainly consist of lane reductions and detours, both short- and long-term changes.
