Heads up, C Line riders!
Our work began earlier this summer on Phase 2 of the C Line overhead wire replacement project for the east end of the C Line between Willowbrook/Rosa Parks Station and Norwalk Station.
As a result of the work, C Line rail service will continue to be impacted to allow staff to safely access tracks complete the replacement of overhead wires that provide the power supply for trains. The current wires are approaching 30 years and need to be replaced to ensure reliable service.
C Line service changes to accommodate this work are as follows:
Sunday, August 25 through Saturday, August 31, 2024
Shuttle buses will replace C Line rail service between Norwalk Station and Long Beach Bl Station from the start of service on Sunday, August 25, 2024 through the end of service on Saturday, Aug. 31.
Train service will continue to run from Willowbrook/Rosa Parks Station to Redondo Beach Station. Due to this work, free bus shuttles, Metro C Line Shuttle 853, will take passengers between three (3) stations: Norwalk, Lakewood and Long Beach Blvd. Shuttle hours and locations are:
Sunday, September 1 through Sunday, October 27, 2024
C Line service will operate every 16 minutes on weekdays, Saturdays, and Sundays between Norwalk Station and Redondo Beach Station. Additional trains will operate between Willowbrook/Rosa Parks Station and Redondo Beach Station weekdays between 5:30am and 8:30am and between 2pm and 6:30pm.
Monday, October 28, 2024, through Monday, January 27, 2025
Normal 10-minute C Line service frequency will operate between Norwalk Station and Redondo Beach Station. At a date yet to be confirmed during this period, a new structure for the C and K Lines will be launched as Metro prepares to open the new LAX/Metro Transit Center Station.
Work on phase 2 of the C Line overhead wire replacement program will continue in 2025. Further details on C Line service impacts will be released closer to 2025 based on project progress and coordination with the opening of the new LAX/Metro Transit Center Station.
Metro apologizes for any inconvenience these changes may cause, and thanks its passengers in advance for their patience. Please allow additional time for travel. Metro Ambassadors will be riding the C Line to assist impacted riders. These revised C Line schedules will be reflected on Google and other trip planning apps. Detailed schedules will also be posted at Metro.net for each of the above periods.
