La Verne's D Street To Close For Gold Line Extension Construction

LA VERNE, CA — Motorists who use D Street to get around La Verne will have to find a new route for the next month as a portion of the road will be closed for three months as part of the Foothill Gold Line Project.

A portion of D Street at the railroad crossing north of Arrow Highway is scheduled to be closed until Oct. 27 as construction crews work on the light rail project, according to a statement from the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

Work on D Street includes roadway paving and track installation as well as new curb and gutter construction. The street will be closed for 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for the duration of construction, according to LA Metro. Construction hours will be from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Portions of Arrow Highway and Bonita Avenue impacted by the construction will be accessible using alternative routes, Metro officials said.

The Foothill Gold Line Project aims to add nearly 10 additional miles of track to Metro's L Line, formerly the Gold Line. The route currently runs from East Los Angeles to Azusa, and the extension would take it into San Bernardino County, according to Metro.

In addition to La Verne, additional stations are being built in Glendora, San Dimas and Pomona. Construction is scheduled to be completed by 2025.
