- Share via
Workers have completed the steel frame of a $57-million municipal courthouse being constructed near Los Angeles International Airport.
In a ceremony Monday, Dist. Atty. Gil Garcetti and other officials gathered to sign a steel girder that will be placed in the elevator shaft of the structure.
The 10-story courthouse is being built on La Cienega Boulevard, south of the Century Freeway in the unincorporated county area between El Segundo and Hawthorne known as Del Aire.
When finished in September 1999, it will have 12 courtrooms to handle traffic and non-traffic misdemeanor cases, felony preliminary hearings, small claims cases and civil cases involving amounts under $25,000.
The airport court branch, funded through assessments on criminal, traffic and parking fines, is intended to relieve crowding at the West Los Angeles branch of the municipal courts system.
