Section 1: Open
The Metro D Line Subway Extension expands the existing subway west from Wilshire/Western in Koreatown nearly nine miles along Wilshire Bl to Westwood. The project is delivered in three sections that together improve access, reduce travel time, and strengthen connections between some of Los Angeles’ most active job, education, medical, and cultural centers.
Section 1 extends the subway from Koreatown to the Wilshire/La Cienega area, serving the Miracle Mile and surrounding neighborhoods. This Opened on May 8, 2026.
Section 2 continues west through Beverly Hills and Century City, connecting major employment centers and regional destinations.
Section 3 extends the line to Westwood, improving access to UCLA, major medical facilities, and the Westside.
Across all three sections, the project creates a reliable, high-capacity transit option that improves mobility along the Wilshire Corridor, one of the most heavily traveled routes in the region. The extension supports faster, more predictable trips, improves connections to the broader Metro Rail system, and provides a convenient alternative to driving. By expanding subway service through dense, high-demand areas, the project improves access to opportunity and supports more sustainable travel choices for residents, workers, and visitors.
Status Update
Work continues across all three sections of the project.
Section 1 is OPEN! This includes the new stations at La Brea, Fairfax, and La Cienega.
Section 2 remains active in Beverly Hills and Century City, with station construction progressing underground. In Century City, major street restoration and deck removal along Constellation Bl is planned to begin in spring 2026, which may include temporary lane reductions and weekend work. Advance notices will be provided to affected businesses and residents.
Section 3 continues construction in Westwood, including work at the UCLA and VA Hospital stations. Ongoing activity includes structural work and preparation for future street restoration. Lane reductions and temporary pedestrian detours may occur during off-peak hours to support this work.
Section 1 Opened May 8, 2026
A major milestone is here. Metro’s D Line Extension Section 1 is now open, bringing three new underground stations to Wilshire/La Brea, Wilshire/Fairfax and Wilshire/La Cienega. This long-anticipated expansion makes it easier to travel between Beverly Hills, Mid-Wilshire, Miracle Mile, Koreatown, Downtown Los Angeles and the wider Metro system with faster, traffic-free trips. Riders now have direct access to museums, jobs, healthcare, shopping and neighborhood destinations along one of the region’s busiest corridors. The fully ADA-accessible stations feature modern safety upgrades, intuitive wayfinding and vibrant public art, creating a welcoming transit experience that supports everyday travel and the region’s major global moments ahead.
