El Segundo Boulevard is a west-east thoroughfare in Los Angeles County. It has a total length of 11.9 miles (19.2 km). At one time, it was named Ballona Avenue.
El Segundo Boulevard was widened to accommodate six lanes of traffic, with paved shoulders, curbs, and gutters, in the late 1950s,[1][2] to better serve Los Angeles International Airport and the aerospace corporations based near there.[3] The intersection of Compton Avenue and El Segundo Boulevard was reconstructed and widened, with medians and traffic signal improvements, in the early 1970s.[4]
