Bridge construction

Crenshaw Line Metro rail construction. Near LAX and The Proud Bird, the bridge spans 111th alongside Aviation Blvd. In the mirror (yes, I know I need to clean it) you can see the raised section that will connect the bridge from the existing Green Line Aviation Station over Imperial Hwy to this one. Just past the intersection, the track dives down below ground as it passes the end of the runway, after which it climbs up again to the future train station at Century Blvd.

Metro approves new train station to connect rail to LAX

Well, this is going to be interesting. Instead of Metro re-routing the Crenshaw Line into the airport (since they’ve already broken ground on it), LAX will run their own ultra-light train from the airport, through the offsite parking and the existing bus hub, to meet the Metro line at a transfer station. The weird thing is that the station they just approved is a very short walk from the one being planned for Century/Aviation. I’m not 100% sure, but I suspect I’ve been in train stations in other cities that are longer than the distance between these two stops.

First sign of work at the southern end of what will be the Crenshaw/LAX Metro line. The Green Line station across the street was built with a partial Y connector and pylon bases to make it easier to eventually connect up a future N/S line. Now thei they’re finally going to do something with them.
