Crenshaw/LAX Transit Project

Metro’s plan for better transit includes the K Line to bring more travel options and access to opportunity. This project will extend from E Line (Expo) at Expo/Crenshaw Station and merge with C Line (Green) at Aviation/LAX Station, connecting the Crenshaw Corridor, Inglewood and El Segundo.

Overview

Location: Central Los Angeles, South Bay Cities

Phase: Operations & Maintenance

Type: Better Transit

Forecasted Opening: Fall 2022

The K Line will serve the Crenshaw District, Inglewood, Westchester and surrounding areas with eight new stations:

Expo/Crenshaw
Martin Luther King Jr.
Leimert Park
Hyde Park
Fairview Heights
Downtown Inglewood
Westchester/Veterans
Aviation/Century

On this future line, the Airport Metro Connector (AMC) at Aviation Boulevard and 96th Street, will provide a direct connection to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

Status

Metro began constructing the K Line in 2014. Walsh Shea Corridor Constructors has reached a sufficient level of systems testing to achieve substantial completion in 2022. Metro has confidence the K Line will open for operation in Fall 2022. This forecast includes five to six months of equipment testing and training of Metro operations and maintenance staff.
