DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL NOTICE

CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY - UPDATE
Crews will continue reconstructing the railroad crossing on Pasadena Ave. in the City of Glendora as part of the 9.1-mile Foothill Gold Line light rail project. This work requires an six week extension of the closure (through March 27, 2022) and is the result of an existing Southern California Edison (SCE) facility within the grade crossing that is currently in conflict with the Gold Line construction. After months of design delays and unforeseen constructability deficiencies by SCE, SCE is now ready to complete the work at the crossing. Edison’s work will take approximately 1 week, ending with an overnight power cut-over on Monday night February 21. KPJV then requires 5 weeks to complete the remaining grade crossing construction work, which includes new track and duct bank installation, new curb & gutter, roadway & median paving, and railroad crossing signals.

WHEN
Ongoing and continuing daily thru March 27, 2022 (extended), Pasadena Ave. will be fully closed to all traffic (vehicular and pedestrian) at the railroad crossing 24 hours a day/7 days a week. Route 66 (just south of the crossing) and Walnut Ave. (north of the crossing) will remain open and accessible by way of detour routes. Crews plan to work daily 7:00 AM - 5:30 PM, Monday thru Saturday. NOTE: Occasional longer working hours may be needed. City approved working hours: 7:00 AM – 9:00 PM, 7 days a week, which is consistent with the City’s municipal code.

TRAFFIC ADVISORIES
Pasadena Ave. will be fully closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic at the railroad crossing.  Access to homes and businesses on Pasadena Ave. within the closure area north and south of the railroad crossing will be maintained at all times.
