Weekend Construction To Cause Metro Delays
LOS ANGELES (CBS) ―
Weekend construction is expected to cause delays for Metro Blue Line passengers starting Friday as crews install tracks to connect the Blue Line with the Expo Line.
Delays of up to 40 minutes are expected between Washington Station and
7th/Metro Center starting at 9 p.m. Friday until the close of service on Sunday.
Metro buses will provide transportation service from Washington Station
to 7th/Metro Center, with stops at the San Pedro, Grand and Pico stations.
The construction work is part of a plan for the the Expo Line, a new 8.5-mile light rail line being built from downtown Los Angeles to Culver City.
The Expo Line and Blue Line are expected to share tracks at two stations along the Flower Street section of the alignment.
