REVISED SCHEDULE:
The nightly closure scheduled on Century Boulevard near LAX will begin Monday, July 13, due to a revised construction schedule.
As early as Monday, July 6, Century Boulevard near LAX may be closed between Aviation Boulevard and Bellanca Avenue so that framing installation for the new bridge can take place without danger to vehicles passing beneath. This work is necessary to support the aerial Aviation/Century station.
Work will take place for two weeks from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m., Monday through Friday but will affect only one direction of Century Boulevard at a time, according to Walsh/Shea Corridor Constructors (WSCC). The west bound closure may begin as early as July 6 and the east bound Monday, July 13.
An estimated 92,800 motorists travel through that intersection on a daily basis. Airport travelers, employees of local businesses and hotel guests are being alerted that they should plan ahead, allow extra travel time and use recommended detours. Detour information is posted with other project information at metro.net/crenshaw.
Detours:
• If traveling west on Century, turn right at Aviation Boulevard, left at Arbor Vitae Street, left at Airport Boulevard and right at Century Boulevard.
• If traveling east on Century turn left on Airport Boulevard, right at Arbor Vitae Street, right at Aviation Boulevard and left on Century.
Access to emergency responders will be maintained at all times. Pedestrians will be rerouted to a safe area outside the construction zone.
Metro Bus service in construction areas may be detoured but Metro will post bus route information on the regular bus stops. For Metro bus service updates call (323) GO-METRO from 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Friday and 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
The 8.5-mile Crenshaw/LAX Line is a $2.058 billion light-rail line that will connect the Green Line and the Expo Line. It will have eight new stations to serve the Crenshaw, Inglewood and LAX communities. It is expected to open in 2019.
