Metro K Line Northern Extension

The Metro K Line Northern Extension would fill a gap in Metro’s developing system to connect four major rail lines and six of the highest ridership bus lines in LA County.

Overview

Location: Central Los Angeles, South Bay Cities, Westside Cities

Phase: Environmental Review

Type: Better Transit

Forecasted Opening: 2047

The Metro K Line Northern Extension (KNE) would link to the Metro C, E, D, and B Lines, connecting four major rail lines and six of the highest ridership bus lines in LA County. This project creates a crucial north-south link by extending the K Line underground from the Metro E Line to West Adams, Mid-City, Miracle Mile, West Hollywood, and Hollywood. With numerous transit connections, regional destinations, and major employment centers, this project will improve access to jobs and essential services across LA County.

Status

On October 31, 2024, Metro’s Board of Directors approved additional funding for contract modifications to support further environmental analyses, engineering, and community engagement. These efforts aim to address public comments received during the DEIR public comment period that ended on September 20, 2024. Metro is currently evaluating potential refinements to the proposed alignments and will share its findings with the community and stakeholders to better respond to questions and concerns raised during community meetings.
