Crenshaw/LAX Transit Project

On October 7, 2022, the K Line opened to the public, extending from E Line at Expo/Crenshaw Station and merging with C Line at Aviation/LAX Station, connecting the Crenshaw Corridor, Inglewood and El Segundo. The K Line serves the Crenshaw District, Inglewood, Westchester and surrounding areas with eight new stations.

Overview

Location: South Bay Cities

Phase: Operations & Maintenance

Type: Better Transit

Forecasted Opening: October 7, 2022

Metro’s plan for better transit includes the K Line to bring more travel options and access to opportunity. This project will extend from E Line (Expo) at Expo/Crenshaw Station and merge with C Line (Green) at Aviation/LAX Station, connecting the Crenshaw Corridor, Inglewood and El Segundo.

The K Line currently serves the Crenshaw District, Inglewood, Westchester and surrounding areas with seven new stations:

Expo/Crenshaw
Martin Luther King Jr.
Leimert Park
Hyde Park
Fairview Heights
Downtown Inglewood
Westchester/Veterans

Two additional stations are currently under construction and will open in 2023 and 2024:

Aviation/Century – 2023
LAX/Metro Transit Center – 2024

In late 2024 the Airport Metro Connector (AMC) at Aviation Boulevard and 96th Street will provide a direct connection to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Once operational, the station will be renamed LAX/Metro Transit Center.

Status

While the K Line is open to the public and major construction has concluded, minor construction work continues in support of the rail line operations. This work is anticipated to conclude in 2024 and will not impact full line operations.
