K Line service will run every 20 minutes through Oct. 15
On Friday, Sept. 29, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) will begin connecting the power lines from the Westchester/Veterans Station to the future LAX/Metro Transit Connector Station
The work is scheduled to begin on Friday, Sept. 29, and last until Sunday, Oct. 15. As a result, train service on the K Line will be every 20 minutes weekdays and weekends between the Westchester/Veterans Station and the Crenshaw/Expo Station.
The installation of power lines (Overhead Catenary Service) is the first phase in preparation for integrating the K Line with the LAX/Metro Transit Connector Station, which is tentatively slated to open in fall 2024.
The shuttle bus C & K Line Link 857 that connects the K Line and the C Line will continue service from the Westchester/Veterans Station to the Aviation/LAX Station on its regular service schedule.
The LAX/Metro Transit Connector Station will be the ninth station along the K Line and will connect directly with the Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) People Mover Train project – presently being built –that connects directly with the airport passenger terminals.
The new LAX/Metro Transit Connector Station is located at Aviation and 96th Street and it includes platforms to access Metro light rail trains, and an expansive 16-bay bus plaza that will serve Metro and other municipal bus operators, including Santa Monica Big Blue Bus, Culver City Bus, Torrance Transit, GTrans (Gardena) and Beach Cities Transit.
The K Line opened in October 2022 with seven rail stations including Crenshaw/Expo, Martin Luther King Jr., Leimert Park, Hyde Park, Fairview Heights, Downtown Inglewood and Westchester/Veterans. An eighth station, Aviation/Century, will also open at the same time as the LAX/Metro Transit Connector Station opens.
