Metro Updates
Welcome to the latest updates on the progress of Metro projects in the Westside area of Los Angeles! As part of LA Metro’s commitment to improving transportation and community infrastructure, there are several important developments to share.
Upcoming Wilshire Boulevard Construction – What to Expect
Mark your calendars! Starting on March 17, 2025, the contractor will initiate deck removal and street restoration for the future Wilshire/Rodeo Station. Thanks to the City of Beverly Hills, an alternative closure plan has been approved, drastically reducing the originally planned 18 weekend closures to a streamlined three-week full closure.
During this closure, Wilshire Boulevard will be completely shut down between just west of Crescent Drive and just east of El Camino Drive. This essential closure will facilitate deck removal, street restoration, and restoration of water service lines, all while minimizing disruption to the community. Additionally, please be advised that the intersection of Wilshire Boulevard and Beverly Drive will be closed during this period.
