Widening project to force closure of 105 Freeway off-ramp
The off-ramp from the westbound Century (105) Freeway to northbound Sepulveda Boulevard will close tonight at 11 p.m. and remain closed until 5 a.m. tomorrow as part of a widening project.
The closure will be repeated Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
The closures will allow Caltrans workers to install temporary concrete barriers in advance of a $10 million project to add a lane and safety shoulder to the northbound Sepulveda Boulevard off-ramp.
One lane of the ramp will be closed until the project is completed this spring, said Albert Rodriguez of LAX.
Caltrans will use message signs on the San Diego (405) Freeway and the Century (105) Freeway to divert motorists to Imperial Highway or Century Boulevard, Rodriguez said.
The off-ramp is a "feeder" route for motorists heading for the central terminal area of LAX, Rodriguez said. He said passengers on overnight flights should be aware of possible delays getting to the airport.
Rodriguez said the closures would likely impact passengers only on about 20 outbound flights.
