LOS ANGELES, CA-July 21, 2014: Just one week before the planned 57-hour bridge demolition and major street closure of one of the busiest entrances to the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) July 25-28, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) showcased for news media the capabilities of its new hi-tech Mobile Command Center that will help communicate the complex operation to the public on-site during the entire weekend. The state-of-the-art vehicle is a rolling intelligence hub that can relay operational information via microwave, satellite, direct connectivity and cellular communications on a real-time basis. With nearly 93,000 motorists traveling through the Century/Aviation intersection on a typical day, the public is being strongly advised in advance to plan ahead, allow extra travel time, use recommended detours and utilize public transportation to help avoid potentially severe traffic congestion that could cause missed domestic and international flights.
