Traffic Delay on Eastbound Lomita Blvd

  Diesel fuel is linking from a pipeline under the driveway on the north side of Crossroads Shopping Center impacting east bound traffic on Lomita Blvd.  The driveway is now closed.   Eastbound traffic on Lomita Blvd has been reduced to one lane.  Possible alternate routes to avoid eastbound Lomita Blvd are Skypark Drive and the Telo/237th St shortcut.   John Bailey, President Southeast Torrance Homeowners’ Association, Inc.
