Construction on the Exposition Line began in the fall of 2006. Work currently underway includes utility and corridor improvements on Flower St. from Washington Blvd to 23rd St. in Downtown LA. Those activities include relocation of waterlines, gas, power, cable TV, sewer and storm drains as well as roadway improvements, traffic control and street lighting.

Utility relocation and trench construction from Jefferson Blvd. and Flower St. to Vermont Blvd. and Exposition Blvd. began in the summer of 2007. Over the winter and spring of 2008, street closures will be required to perform the installation of the top deck of the trench. The entire trench construction will take 13 months to complete. The west end of the alignment will be used as a work and storage area for the contractor and be the location where the pre-cast deck girders will be manufactured. All construction work will be performed in accordance with City of Los Angeles’ rules and regulations.
