Foothill And Grand Closure To Now Begin A Day Early

GLENDORA, CA — A three-day closure of the Foothill Boulevard and Grand Avenue intersection will now begin one day early to get ahead of the rain forecast for the region, Glendora officials said.

The closure will now begin on Sunday at 5 a.m. and end on Wednesday. The closure is part of construction work for the Foothill Gold Line Project, which will extend Los Angeles Metro's L Line from Glendora to Pomona.

The closure was supposed to be Monday to Friday, but rain will hit the region starting Wednesday, officials said.

Bennett Avenue and Route 66 will be detours for westbound and eastbound traffic, officials said. Barranca and Glendora avenues will be detours for southbound and northbound traffic.

The Foothill Gold Line Project is a 9.1-mile extension of Los Angeles Metro's L Line, formerly Gold Line, from Glendora to Pomona. The extension will add six stations to the line, and construction should be done by early 2026.
