The project with a projected opening date in 2028-2030 will help improve local infrastructure, increase connectivity, and address transit equity in LA County by extending a light rail line north from the G-Line’s Van Nuys Station to San Fernando Road, a total of 6.7 miles with 11 stations, according to LA Metro. , a joint venture of Skanska USA Civil West California District, Inc.
The money adds to SFTC’s early construction work, which includes design and utility relocation. The contractor is also working on a “cultural competency” aspect that will engage with 20 community groups to explain the project, construction closures, and other issues. SFTC will focus on Spanish-language outreach, Metro reported.
The first phase is expected to be built by 2030. The project broke ground on the first segment in December.
