The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) will continue the replacement of the C Line (Green) light-rail power lines between Redondo Beach and Aviation/LAX stations modifying its rail operations as follows:
- From Redondo Beach to El Segundo stations rail service trains will be single tracking and running approximately every 20 minutes.
- From El Segundo to Norwalk stations regular rail service will be every 10 to 12 minutes.
- Metro ambassadors will be available to assist patrons at affected stations.
- The shuttle bus service that has been operating in place of rail service in the Aviation/LAX – Redondo Beach area since mid-August last few months will be discontinued from September 25.
This new rail service schedule will begin on Monday, September 25, and will continue for approximately 2 months until late November, unless otherwise indicated.
The power line upgrade project is part of Metro’s State of Good Repair Program, which seeks to keep existing and future transit assets in good working order while upgrading the overall transit system.
Work will allow Metro to conduct maintenance and repair work at all closed stations and along tracks. Customer experience and safety improvements will also be made to lighting, signage, PA systems, cameras and passenger/emergency telephones.
Metro will perform intensive cleaning on the stations, including painting, weed removal and several other tasks to ensure these transit facilities remain in good condition for riders.
Upgrades are expected to take several years to complete.
Maintenance of its rail lines is a critical Metro priority and will ensure rail customers have a safe and reliable trip. Metro thanks its passengers for their patience during these power line upgrades and apologizes in advance for any inconvenience.
