If you’re going to LAX Sunday night or early Monday morning, don’t try to get off the San Diego (405) Freeway in the airport area.
Southbound freeway ramps near Los Angeles International Airport at Century Boulevard have been closed all weekend, and they won’t reopen until 5 a.m. Monday, according to Caltrans.
The La Cienega Boulevard on- and off-ramps will remain open, but Caltrans officials said motorists should, of course, expect delays in the area.
The Century Boulevard ramps are being repaved as part of a $12.2 million project that will re-surface the 405 Freeway between El Segundo and Venice boulevards. The project is expected to be completed by the end of next year.
Once the ramps are reopened, airport-bound motorists could still encounter restrictions along Century Boulevard due to unrelated construction.
Beginning Monday night, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority will begin a month-long rotation of overnight one-way closures on Century Boulevard between Aviation Boulevard and Bellanca Avenue. The work will be done between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. each night.
From Monday through Aug. 6, westbound lanes will be affected. From Aug. 8 through Aug. 13, eastbound lanes will be affected. From Aug. 15 through Aug. 20, westbound lanes will be closed, and from Aug. 22-27, eastbound lanes will be closed.
The closures will accommodate construction related to the Crenshaw/LAX light rail line.
