Drivers traveling to and from LAX airport are being asked to plan for added traffic delays this week.

Crews will work in both directions on Century Boulevard — one of the main roadways near the airport — at Concourse Way from 7 a.m. Monday through 7 p.m. Friday.

Two lanes westbound and two lanes eastbound will be closed on Century Boulevard from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Crews will keep three west-traveling lanes open and two lanes going east available from 7 p.m. through 7 a.m.

The construction is part of the RUE Project, which aims to improve traffic flow around LAX, among other things. Work on the Automated People Mover System continues, but the opening of the rail line has been pushed back to November of 2025.

The driverless rail project, part of a $30 billion overhaul of the airport, was expected to open in 2023.

A recent study named LAX as the third-worst airport in North America.

Quilt heat pump sports sleek design from veterans of Apple, Tesla, and Nest
Heating and air conditioning is usually pretty boring stuff, performed by appliance-like boxes with uninspired designs, from sheet metal outdoor units to cheap plastic indoor mini-splits. The heat pump startup unveiled its first products on Wednesday, and they sport the sort of sleek and intuitive designs you’d expect from veterans of Apple, Nest, Google, and Tesla.
