Westwood/UCLA Station Construction 

Summary  

Metro contractors will continue construction activities for the future Westwood/UCLA Station within UCLA Lot 36. Activities may require temporary lane closures to access the Wilshire Bl deck panels. Work includes excavation, hauling, bracing i, lagging, station ventilation installation, and utility support. The SOE removal and concrete work will continue for a year. 

Concrete activities have started, and to reduce impacts to stakeholders, Metro contractors will implement temporary traffic closures. The restrictions impact westbound Wilshire Bl traffic lanes between Westwood Bl, and Veteran Av, the west leg crosswalk on Wilshire Bl and Gayley Av, and southbound right turn pockets would be restricted at Gayley Av/Wilshire Bl (dual right turns impacted), and Westwood Bl/Wilshire Bl.

Piling for the smaller two entrances for the UCLA Station is anticipated in early December, with construction work beginning on the northeast entrance (former Chase Bldg structure location). This work will continue through January 2025. Work will occur at night from 9pm to 6am and on continuous weekends, Friday to Monday. There will be a southbound directional closure on Westwood Bl between Lindbrook Dr and Wilshire Bl. Parking lot in this area will be maintained with a flagger. Vehicles coming southbound on Westwood Bl will be detoured to Gayley Av or Glendon Av. There will be no right turns available from Lindbrook Dr onto Westwood Bl to proceed southbound. The west leg crosswalk will be closed at Wilshire Bl and Westwood Bl, but three others will remain accessible.
