Sepulveda Boulevard near LAX closed due to water main break for a second time in a week
The northbound lanes of Sepulveda Boulevard remained closed Monday morning due to a water main break in the area.
Drivers were urged to avoid using the southbound lanes to get to Los Angeles International Airport, but many were still caught off guard.
One passenger being rerouted said she had a flight at 6 o'clock that she was about to miss because she had not heard about the street closure.
"Why would we?" she said.
This is the second such instance in less than a week's time, after a water main break closed the southbound lanes from last Monday morning through Tuesday night.
TRAFFIC ALERT: southbound Sepulveda at Century is closing due to a water main issue. Avoid using SB Sepulveda to reach LAX. Go around to Century or use the 105 to Sepulveda north. Also avoid Lincoln to Sepulveda as traffic will be very slow. @LADWP is responding.
