Not really except to concur that LAX south side is very confusing right now (shades of LEX ?).

With only the media reports, I was trying to work out where the GV 'missed' the taxiway and where he was trying to go. I assumed from a 'hangar' (more likely just one of the ramps) on Imperial he was making for 25R so was cleared to cross one (closed 25L) runway. But if as you point out he was bound for the north pair on the straight crossing taxiway, it is just conceivable that 25R was the one he thought he was cleared across, the 24s being visible to him at the time.

How about some "Follow Me" jeeps during the construction ??
