A section of Highway 1 in California re-opened 14 months after a major landslide buried the road which connects San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Los Angeles city leaders and officials broke ground last Tuesday at LAX’s Terminal 1 to signify the start of a $508 million modernization project. The thirty year-old terminal is the busiest terminal at the airport as it handled 9.65 million travelers in 2013. In addition to renovating Terminal 1, LAX has also been upgrading other parts of the airport including the new $1.9 billion Tom Bradley International Airport, Terminal 6, and parts of the airfield to accommodate larger planes. The projects are expected to create 4,000 construction jobs as well as 2,000 new concession jobs at the airport.

Elon Musk, frustrated by LA’s heavy traffic, has proposed to create tunnels for an underground transportation system. And his newly established Boring Company, is exploring ways to cut down tunneling costs, in order to make his plan feasible. 

In a huge rift in the Earth's crust near Los Angeles, it is observed helium leak, and researchers believe that this finding sheds new light on the Newport-Inglewood fault in the basin of Los Angeles.

Researchers from MIT claim that engineered green spaces can capture and purify water from storms contributing in flooding problem treatment.

A brand-new application is able to alert people in time when earthquakes strike in California.

Following Elon Musk's attempt to introduce underground transportation systems a question is raised. Is tunneling safe in Los Angeles?

At least 12 firefighters were injured and many buildings were damaged after an explosion occurred in Los Angeles.
