The phase two portion of the project is extending the Expo Line from Culver City to Santa Monica. Among the newsletter's highlights are:

  • A majority of the eight bridges along the alignment are nearing completion, including the Venice Boulevard Bridge linking Phase 1 and Phase 2
  • Work at the 26th Street/Bergamot and Westwood/Rancho Park stations is well underway, with station foundation and utility work in progress

  • Construction of the maintenance facility in Santa Monica began this summer and will be completed next fall. Site excavation activities are ongoing and construction of building foundations will follow in the next quarter
  • Utility relocations are continuing throughout the alignment, with SRJV working to minimize impacts on residents, businesses, drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists
