LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Pack your patience: Wednesday is expected to be the busiest day of the holiday travel season at Los Angeles International Airport.
Approximately 255,000 people are expected to pass through LAX on Wednesday alone -- that's three times the size of the crowd at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum.
The airport is expected to have about 5.8 million passengers through the 25-holiday period Dec. 14 to Jan. 7, 2019. An estimated 2.5 million trips will be made on LAX roadways.

LAX spokesman Charles Pannunzio also noted that Century Boulevard will keep all four lanes open approaching the airport, even while there is construction work ongoing for a new Metro line. That means approaching the airport on Century Boulevard may be a quicker route than Sepulveda Boulevard, he said.
LAX officials also launched a new pilot program on the airport's Twitter feed that provides hourly updates on traffic patterns at the airport. The updates offer information such as which routes to the airport are fastest and what is the travel time around the Central Terminal Area loop.
