D Line Subway Extension Project – Section 1

The D Line Subway Extension, constructed as three separate projects, will extend the D Line subway nine miles, creating seven new underground stations. The new rail will take riders from the Wilshire/Western Station to the VA Hospital west of the I-405 freeway.

Overview

Location: Central Los Angeles

Phase: Construction

Type: Better Transit

Forecasted Opening: 2025

Metro’s plan includes better transit to connect more people to more places with Section 1 of the Purple (D Line) extension. This project extends the Purple (D Line) from Koreatown through Miracle Mile, adding three new stations at Wilshire/La Brea, Wilshire/Fairfax and Wilshire/La Cienega.

Wilshire/LaBrea Station

The Wilshire/La Brea station will serve as an eastern gateway to the Miracle Mile area and provide easy north-south connections to La Brea Av. The station entrance is planned for the Metro-owned property on the northwest corner of Wilshire Bl and La Brea Av.

Wilshire/Fairfax Station

A station entrance is planned for the southeast corner of Wilshire Bl and Orange Grove Av. The Wilshire/Fairfax Station will offer easy access to four world-class museums.

Wilshire/LaCienega Station

The entrance to the Wilshire/La Cienega station is planned for the northeast corner of Wilshire Bl and La Cienega Bl. Given its location on a highly utilized north/south thoroughfare, the station will create seamless links to travel destinations along and near La Cienega Bl, such as Restaurant Row, Beverly Center and Cedars Sinai Medical Center.

Status

This project is under construction and slated to open for service in 2025.
