Century Boulevard is a major east–west thoroughfare in the southern portion ofLos Angeles,California. Century Boulevard acts as a continuation of Tweedy Boulevard at Alameda Street inSouth Gate in its east end (Tweedy Boulevard in its east end starts slightly east ofAtlantic Avenue), and ends in the west at the passenger terminals atLos Angeles International Airport. Due to its correspondence with the airport, the road has been dubbed "The Gateway to Los Angeles".[1]
