Metro To Stop Service From Crenshaw To Redondo For Construction
Metro C Line will halt service Friday to Saturday from Crenshaw to Redondo Beach stations.
REDONDO BEACH, CA — The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority Thursday announced it will temporarily halt C Line (Green) service between the Crenshaw and Redondo Beach stations from Friday to Saturday for construction to connect the future Crenshaw/LAX Line.
Construction is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. Friday and conclude at 11:59 p.m. Saturday. Metro will provide a free bus shuttle service to rail stations that will be out of services at Hawthorne/Lennox, Aviation/LAX, Mariposa, El Segundo, Douglas and Redondo Beach stations.
Shuttles will run every 15 minutes from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. and every 20 minutes at other times. Metro recommends passengers plan their commute times. Due to physical distancing required during the COVID-19 pandemic, bus capacity is limited and riders should enter buses at the rear doors, and facial coverings must be worn while onboard.
