–TRAFFIC ADVISORY–
IMPERIAL HIGHWAY RESURFACING PROJECT IN EL SEGUNDO MAY CAUSE DELAYS NEAR LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

(Los Angeles, California – March 24, 2017) The City of El Segundo has notified Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) officials of a major resurfacing project scheduled to start Monday, March 27, that will restrict traffic on eastbound Imperial Highway between Sepulveda Boulevard and Hornet Way for approximately one month.

The majority of the work will take place weekdays, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., and require the closure of most lanes on eastbound Imperial Highway, as well as occasional full closures that could restrict access to the Interstate 105 eastbound on-ramp at Hughes Way.  Paving work will take place over one full weekend, tentatively set for Friday night, April 8, through Sunday, April 10.  One lane will remain open when possible, and emergency vehicles will have access if needed. 

Motorists can bypass the work via eastbound Maple or Mariposa avenues to northbound Douglas Street.  The work will not affect westbound Imperial Highway.

The project involves the removal of four inches of the road surface, which will then be replaced with rubberized asphalt concrete.  The work is weather-dependent and subject to delays.

 Airport officials recommend travelers plan ahead and allow more time for possible detours.

Updates on real-time traffic conditions in and around LAX are available by following the Los Angeles Airport Police (@LAAirportPD) and LAX Airport (@flyLAXairport) on Twitter, as well as through the WAZE traffic app. 

More information about the project is available from the City of El Segundo at (310) 524-2361.
