Metro will hold a meeting on the D Line subway project construction on Wednesday, June 5, from 6-7 p.m. in the Municipal Gallery at Beverly Hills City Hall, 455 N. Rexford Drive. The meeting will focus on the Wilshire/La Cienega and Wilshire/Rodeo subway stations in Beverly Hills.

Crews are building underground rooms and passageways known as appendage structures at the Wilshire/Rodeo station. Work is ongoing near Wilshire Boulevard and Cañon and Beverly drives. Wilshire Boulevard and South Beverly Drive may be reduced to one lane in each direction in the immediate work zone area for station deck access.

Construction of the underground station is ongoing throughout 2024. Material, equipment and concrete deliveries continue daily. Work is ongoing 24 hours underneath the deck at Wilshire/Rodeo.

Work is also ongoing 24 hours at the Wilshire/La Cienega station. Street-level work will necessitate lane closures. Wilshire Boulevard is reduced to a single lane in each direction between La Cienega and San Vicente boulevards on an intermittent basis through June 2. Westbound Wilshire Boulevard may be fully closed overnight between San Vicente and La Cienega boulevard from 8 p.m. through 7 a.m. The traffic control supports ongoing utility work along Wilshire Boulevard.

North Hamilton and Gale drives are closed overnight at Wilshire Boulevard and right turns from southbound San Vicente Boulevard to westbound Wilshire Boulevard are restricted.

Work is ongoing in June at many other locations on the subway alignment. Lane closures are in place around the Wilshire/La Brea and Wilshire/Fairfax stations.

Street restoration work is ongoing through June around the Wilshire/La Brea station. Detroit Street will be intermittently closed at Wilshire Boulevard. A K-rail work zone will remain in place on the south side of Wilshire Boulevard between La Brea and Mansfield avenues. Wilshire Boulevard is reduced to two lanes in each direction between Highland and La Brea avenues.

A K-rail work zone remains in the middle of Wilshire Boulevard between Courtyard Place and Masselin Avenue in the Miracle Mile. Wilshire Boulevard is reduced to two lanes in each direction between Ridgely Drive and Curson Avenue.

At the Wilshire/Fairfax station, northbound Orange Grove Avenue is closed at Wilshire Boulevard through June. The closure supports construction of the future station entrance. Southbound traffic from Wilshire Boulevard to Eighth Street will be maintained.
