The Los Angeles Metro D Line will halt operations for 70 days beginning 9 p.m. on May 17 through July 25, to accommodate construction work for the line’s extension project.
The D Line currently operates between Union Station in downtown Los Angeles and Wilshire/Western Station in Koreatown (Los Angeles’ Koreatown district), covering eight stations. During the suspension, riders traveling between Union Station and Wilshire/Vermont Station can use the Metro B Line, which shares the same route.
However, both Wilshire/Normandie Station and Wilshire/Western Station will be completely closed during this period.
To reduce commuter inconvenience, Metro will deploy Shuttle Bus 855 to operate between Wilshire/Vermont Station and Wilshire/Western Station, making stops at Wilshire/Normandie Station. The shuttle service will be synchronized with the B Line schedule.
