Work is occurring at many locations on Wilshire Boulevard as part of Metro’s Purple Line Extension project. 

On Saturday, June 20, Wilshire Boulevard will be reduced to one lane in each direction from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. between Stanley Drive and Crescent Heights Boulevard. The lane closures are necessary for the installation of a work zone at Wilshire/Gale. 

At Wilshire Boulevard and La Jolla Avenue, tunnel investigation work is occurring during off-peak hours 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., weekdays, and 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., weekends. New work zones in the center of Wilshire Boulevard and McCarthy Vista will remain in place through Aug. 14. Wilshire Boulevard will be reduced to two lanes in each direction between San Diego Way and La Jolla Avenue, and McCarthy Vista will be reduced to one lane in each direction between Wilshire Boulevard and Warner Drive.

Station construction, hauling and concrete pouring are ongoing near Wilshire/Fairfax. Intermittent lane closures may be in place to support deck panel maintenance and soil investigation in the Wilshire/Fairfax station area.

Near Wilshire/La Brea and Wilshire/Sycamore, hauling, deliveries and tunneling support continues. Intermittent daily lane closures along Wilshire Boulevard and side streets between Highland Avenue and Detroit Street may be necessary.

Material deliveries and underground construction support continue at a work zone in the center of Wilshire Boulevard just west of Rimpau Boulevard. Wilshire Boulevard has been reduced to two lanes in each direction between June Street and Muirfield Road.

At Wilshire/Western, tunneling support and street maintenance work continues. Intermittent single-lane closures may also occur on Wilshire Boulevard between Western Avenue and Manhattan Place.
