The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority announced Tuesday that it will suspend rail service on the C Line (Green) between Hawthorne/Lennox and Redondo Beach Stations for three weekends beginning Friday so work can continue on the Crenshaw/LAX Transit line project.

The closures will also take place May 15 and June 19 in order to connect with the future Crenshaw/LAX Line, Metro officials said.

Construction work is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. each Friday and conclude by 12:01 a.m. each Monday.

Metro will provide a free bus shuttle service to the out-of-service rail stations at Hawthorne/Lennox, Aviation/LAX, Mariposa, El Segundo, Douglas, Redondo Beach stations.

Shuttle buses will run every 15 minutes from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. and every 20 minutes at other times.

Regular C Line rail service will continue between Norwalk and Hawthorne/Lennox stations, where passengers will transfer to bus shuttles to continue their trip.

For travelers planning to go to Los Angeles International Airport, the LAX Shuttle G will continue to run its regular service from its usual stop at Aviation/LAX Station. Other options to LAX include Metro Lines 102, 111, 117 and 232.
