Wilshire Subway Opens After 65 Years

Wilshire Subway Opens After 65 Years

Published 1 week, 2 days ago
Description

After decades of delays, Los Angeles finally opens the first stretch of its Wilshire Boulevard subway, a project that promises to revolutionize the citys transit system. The D Line extension, featuring three new stations, links Koreatown with the Westside, reducing travel time from up to 45 minutes to just 21. Despite numerous challenges, including political fights and engineering hurdles, the project is hailed as a game-changer. The full nine-mile extension is set to hit Westwood by fall 2027, tying into UCLA and the VA Medical Center, and serving as the spine for a growing rail grid. This marks a significant step towards a connected transit future for LA.
