The Metro D Line Subway Extension expands the subway from Koreatown to Westwood, connecting Downtown Los Angeles to the Westside. This high-capacity, zero-emission rail line will reduce travel times, improve access to jobs and education, and support cleaner, more sustainable travel across Los Angeles County.
The D Line Subway Extension Project adds nine miles of new subway service to Metro’s rail network, with seven new stations between Koreatown and Westwood. The project is being built in three sections to enhance safety, mobility, and access along the Wilshire corridor. When complete, riders will be able to travel from Downtown Los Angeles to Westwood in just 25 minutes, significantly reducing current commute times. The extension connects major job centers, medical facilities, educational institutions, and cultural destinations, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), Beverly Hills, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Century City central business district, Westwood Village, UCLA, UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center and West Los Angeles VA Medical Center.
