LA Metro D Line subway to close for 2 months for expansion project
As Los Angeles Metro continues work on the D Line Subway Extension Project, the D, or Purple Line will close for a little over two months beginning May 17.
The entire D Line, connecting downtown Los Angeles to the Westside, will be closed from May 17 through July 25 to connect the existing line with the new four-mile extension between Wilshire/ Western and Wilshire/ La Cienega.
The project will include three new subway stations at Wilshire/La Brea, Wilshire/Fairfax, and Wilshire/La Cienega.
The extension project began in 2019, with final work expected to be completed in 2027.
