LA Metro to suspend A Line service over weekend in San Gabriel Valley for construction work

LA Metro A Line service between the Monrovia and APU/Citrus College stations will be suspended for the weekend beginning Friday night due to construction work that’s part of the agency’s collaboration with the Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority, it was announced today.

The suspension will be in effect from 9 p.m. Friday, Dec. 13, through 3 a.m. on Monday, Dec. 16. Stations to be closed will be Duarte/City of Hope, Irwindale, Azusa Downtown and APU/Citrus College.

The transit agency will provide shuttle-bus service to serve the affected stations. This will be the final weekend that bus operation will be needed to complete construction work, Metro said.

The construction work will connect the Metro A Line with a new rail extension between Glendora and Pomona in the San Gabriel Valley. This phase of the rail extension will add new Metro A Line stations in Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne and Pomona and is anticipated to open in 2025, Metro said.

Work is also underway for a second construction segment that will extend the Metro A Line to Claremont and to Montclair in San Bernardino County.
