LAX Removes Iconic Entrance Pylons for Major Roadway Overhaul

LAWA says a 4.4-mile roadway revamp with elevated access will improve traffic safety.

Overview

  • Los Angeles World Airports removed the remaining ring of 15 illuminated pylons to clear the corridor for the Airfield and Terminal Modernization Program Roadway Improvements Project.
  • The project will reconfigure 4.4 miles of roads to separate airport-bound vehicles from neighborhood traffic, aiming to reduce congestion and improve access.
  • Plans call for elevated ingress and egress roadways designed to streamline routes and enhance the traveler experience, according to LAWA officials.
  • LAWA targets completion of new ingress roadways before the 2028 Olympic Games, with egress elements scheduled to finish by 2030.
  • The entrance pylons were part of 26 structures along 1.5 miles of Century Boulevard, stood roughly 25 to 100 feet tall, and will be reimagined as part of the transformation.
