Metro C Line Service Changes: July 2024 through January 2025
Overhead Wire Replacement Project, Phase 2
Please be advised that Phase 2 of the overhead wire replacement work for the east end of the C Line between Willowbrook/Rosa Parks Station and Norwalk Station will begin July 14, 2024.
The following changes to C Line service will be necessary to allow staff access to one of the two operating tracks to complete the replacement of overhead wires that provide the power supply for each train. The current wires are approaching 30 years and need to be replaced to ensure reliable service.
C Line service changes to accommodate this critical work are as follows:
- Sunday, July 14 through Saturday, August 17, 2024: C Line service will operate every 20 minutes on weekdays, Saturdays, and Sundays between Norwalk Station and Redondo Beach Station. Additional trains will operate between Willowbrook/Rosa Parks Station and Redondo Beach Station weekdays between 5am and 8:30am and between 2pm and 6:30pm.
- Sunday, August 18 through Saturday, August 24, 2024: A bus bridge will operate between Norwalk Station and Long Beach Bl Station (also serving Lakewood Bl Station) to replace C Line rail service. 12-minute rail service frequency will operate between Long Beach Bl Station and Redondo Beach Station.
- Sunday, August 25 through Sunday, October 27, 2024: C Line service will operate every 15 minutes on weekdays, Saturdays, and Sundays between Norwalk Station and Redondo Beach Station. Additional trains will operate between Willowbrook/Rosa Parks Station and Redondo Beach Station weekdays between 6am and 8:30am and between 2pm and 6:30pm.
- Monday, October 28, 2024, through Monday, January 27, 2025: Normal 10-minute C Line service frequency will operate between Norwalk Station and Redondo Beach Station. At a date yet to be confirmed during this period, a new structure for the C and K Lines will be launched as Metro prepares to open the new LAX/Metro Transit Center Station.
Work on phase 2 of the C Line overhead wire replacement program will continue in 2025. Further details on C Line service impacts will be released closer to 2025 based on project progress and coordination with the opening of the new LAX/Metro Transit Center Station.
Metro apologizes for any inconvenience these changes may cause. Please allow additional time for travel. These revised C Line schedules will be reflected on Google and other trip planning aps.
