Metro Line Refurbishment

Metro+Line+Refurbishment

Currently the Metro Blue Line, Los Angeles County’s oldest light-rail line, is undergoing a $1.2 billion overhaul replacing power stations, overhead power lines, tracks and rail cars as well as improving station platforms in a multiyear investment to bolster reliability, comfort and safety. Some of the work on the Blue Line, which has linked LA and Long Beach and all the communities in between for 23 years, has already begun while other upgrades and improvements will be completed over the next six years.

According to The Los Angeles Times, nearly $739 million is allocated to purchase 78 new light-rail vehicles plus $130 million to repair and upgrade 52 light rail cars now in service.

The Metro Blue Line has 22 stations between downtown Long Beach and the 7th Street/Metro Center in downtown LA where it connects with the Red/Purple subway lines and the Expo Line. The Metro Blue Line stops at the LA Trade Technical College and the famed Watts Towers and connects to the Metro Green Line at the Willowbrook station for service to Norwalk and Redondo Beach.

According to Metro Blue Line, construction will cause periodic service interruptions. Work is planned for weekends, off-peak hours and overnight to minimize the impact on commuters.
