Making critical connections to keep Los Angeles moving forward

Metro Crenshaw/LAX Corridor Extension

This complex 8.5-mile, $2.1 billion light rail line provides enhanced mobility options and paves the way for a future fully integrated, multi-modal transit system in Los Angeles. The most complex project undertaken by Metro, it consists of aerial, below-grade, and at-grade segments with two miles of twin-bored tunnels, safety-enhanced grade separations, eight stations, and a new maintenance facility.

It’s the missing link that finally links communities with LAX. It also connects the Metro Exposition Line and Green Line, which in turn connect to other lines that extend throughout LA County. For residents of South Los Angeles, an economically-challenged community, the line offers a pathway to upward mobility, economic development opportunities, access to jobs, affordable housing, healthcare, education, and other services.

Funded primarily by a voter-approved sales tax increase, our construction management support services team has nurtured relationships with Metro, the design-build team, transit agencies, government officials, residents, business owners, community groups, media, and other stakeholders. Financial transparency has also been key to the project’s overall success.
