CALTRANS PROJECT MAY CAUSE DELAYS NEAR LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
(Los Angeles, California – January 23, 2017) Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) advises guests and employees that, starting tonight, they may experience traffic delays for the next several weeks near the airport as Caltrans resumes nighttime work to seal bridge surfaces on Interstate 105.
Interstate 105 lanes and ramps in the LAX area may be closed nightly Sunday through Thursday as a Caltrans contractor applies a sealant to the surfaces of bridges (bridge decks). The work began last week, but was temporarily suspended. Current plans call for lanes and ramps to begin closing as early as 7 p.m., with several lanes of Interstate 105 closed after 10 p.m. and reopening by 5 a.m. the following morning.
The work is expected to resume tonight, Monday, January 23 – dependent upon weather – with westbound Interstate 105 reduced to one lane.
Airport officials recommend departing travelers plan ahead and allow more time for possible detours around closed I-105 lanes and ramps. Caltrans will be responsible for detouring freeway traffic. Updates on real-time traffic conditions in and around LAX will be available by following the Los Angeles Airport Police (@LAAirportPD) and LAX Airport (@flyLAXairport) on Twitter.
For more information on the project, contact Caltrans’ District 7 public information office at (213) 897-3656.
LAX, the sixth-busiest airport in the world serving nearly 66 million guests in 2022, is owned and operated by Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), a proprietary, revenue-generating department of the City of Los Angeles that also governs Van Nuys Airport (VNY). As the international gateway to the Southern California region, LAX and its partners are dedicated to meeting global airport standards for customer satisfaction, safety, regional economic leadership, organizational performance and sustainability.
To better serve the millions of domestic and international guests that travel through LAX each year, the airport is undergoing a multi-billion-dollar capital improvement program to modernize its entire campus. Initiatives underway include an Automated People Mover, a Consolidated Rental Car Facility and two projects that will each add over one million square feet to the airport's existing property: Terminal 9 and Concourse 0.
