LOS ANGELES (CNS) — Crews began removing the iconic LAX sign Thursday night to make way for major roadway improvements around the airport.<\/p>\n
Los Angeles World Airports said the sign’s removal marks the next phase of the airport’s modernization program, aimed at easing congestion by separating airport-bound vehicles from local traffic along Sepulveda Boulevard.<\/p>\n
The project also includes pedestrian upgrades, improved signage and more direct access to LAX Economy Parking.<\/p>\n
“Thursday marks a significant milestone for LAX as we continue to innovate, evolve and transform LAX into a more efficient and accessible airport,” Michael Christensen, chief airport development officer of LAWA, said in a statement.<\/p>\n
“While the LAX sign will be taking a break from the spotlight, our teams and contracting partners will be hard at work on roadway improvements that will provide long-term benefits to employees, travelers and our surrounding communities, creating a world-class airport experience for years to come.”<\/p>\n
The three letters will be removed over about a week — starting with the “X,” followed by the “A” and “L.”<\/p>\n
They will be stored nearby until they can be relocated and incorporated into new road designs, officials said.<\/p>\n
The roadway project is part of LAX’s Airfield & Terminal Modernization Program, which is expected to be completed by 2030.<\/p>\n
