D Line Extension: Westwood/UCLA Station Deck Removal Resumes December 12

Workers will resume the removal of the temporary deck panels at the Westwood/UCLA Station on Friday, December 12. This major construction milestone marks the start of restoring Wilshire Bl after years of underground excavation. The work will require weekend closures of westbound Wilshire Bl between Westwood Bl and Veteran Av for approximately eight additional weekends, with detours in place. Eastbound lanes remain open with reduced capacity. Additional impacts, including temporary closures on Gayley Av and Westwood Bl, are anticipated as work progresses.

Traffic Control 

Traffic on westbound Wilshire Bl will be detoured at Westwood Bl to Santa Monica Blvd via portable changeable message boards located at various locations. Traffic will remain open on eastbound Wilshire Bl; however, since eastbound Wilshire Bl will be reduced to two lanes, message boards will be placed to encourage motorists to utilize Santa Monica Blvd via Sepulveda Blvd in case of heavy congestion. 

Hauling Hours 

Hauling of the decking panels, deck beams, backfill material, base and asphalt will take place throughout the duration of the closure. 

Noteworthy 

• All work has received necessary permits and approvals. 
• Parking restrictions will be implemented in the immediate work zone area. 
• Construction is dynamic and schedules are subject to change. 
• The project information line is 213.922.6934
