The northbound lanes of Sepulveda Boulevard remained closed Monday morning due to a water main break in the area. 

Drivers were urged to avoid using the southbound lanes to get to Los Angeles International Airport, but many were still caught off guard.

One passenger being rerouted said she had a flight at 6 o'clock that she was about to miss because she had not heard about the street closure. 

"Why would we?" she said.

This is the second such instance in less than a week's time, after a water main break closed the southbound lanes from last Monday morning through Tuesday night. 

LAX officials say travelers can use Century Boulevard or the 105 Freeway to get to the airport.

Traffic on Sepulveda is being rerouted at 92nd.
