More Reasons to Avoid Wilshire If You Come to UCLA From the Westside at Night

 

LADWP Waterline Installation for New Westwood/VA Hospital Station on City Streets

Summary 

Metro subway construction contractors will continue to install a new waterline at the Westwood/VA Hospital Station for use during construction and future use as a water service line for the VA Station. Initial activities began in the fall of 2023, and construction is beginning in City right-of-way areas between Barry Av and San Vicente Bl/Federal Av on Wilshire Bl. Some anticipated noise is associated with the work from saw-cutting, trenching and plating the street, jackhammering, and other equipment that will be used. The work to install the new waterline pipes will continue for about one year. 


Multiple traffic controls will be implemented during the work. Lane reductions will be required throughout the construction zone along Wilshire Blvd between Barry Ave and Federal Ave/San Vicente Blvd. The traffic control plans will minimize traffic congestion and impact local communities.

The team continues working on Stage 77 for work from 9pm to 6am, Monday to Sunday. There will be multiple restrictions on Wilshire Bl. Please follow the signs.     

Stage 7: The work is anticipated to start on February 18, 2025, for the week, from 9 pm to 6 am. The work will take place on southbound Federal Av near Wilshire Bl. Southbound traffic will be reduced to one lane on San Vicente Bl. from Goshen Av. 

Notices will be posted and updated online as dates and traffic control stages are confirmed. All driveways will be maintained open unless previously notified. Street parking may be impacted. Please follow the posted traffic signage and street parking restrictions. Please refer to the detour signs for impacted routes and relocated bus stops. 

Dates: Through November 2025
