Here’s an update on LA Metro’s new light rail route…
Metro’s plan for better transit includes the Crenshaw/LAX Transit Project to bring more travel options and access to opportunity. This project will extend from E Line (Expo) at Expo/Crenshaw Station and merge with C Line (Green) at Aviation/LAX Station, connecting the Crenshaw Corridor, Inglewood and El Segundo.
The Crenshaw/LAX Transit Project will serve the Crenshaw District, Inglewood, Westchester and surrounding areas with eight new stations:
- Expo/Crenshaw
- Martin Luther King Jr.
- Leimert Park
- Hyde Park
- Fairview Heights
- Downtown Inglewood
- Westchester/Veterans
- Aviation/Century
On this future line, the Airport Metro Connector (AMC) at Aviation Boulevard and 96th Street, will provide a direct connection to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
Status
Metro began constructing the Crenshaw/LAX Transit Project in 2014. Walsh Shea Corridor Constructors has not yet reached a sufficient level of systems testing to accurately forecast the opening date of the project. Once they do, Metro will provide a forecast for the opening. The forecast will include five to six months of equipment testing and training of Metro operations and maintenance staff.
