LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority has suspended weekend service on its light rail Green Line between the Crenshaw and Redondo Beach stations as part of the work to connect the Green Line with the new Crenshaw/LAX line.

The suspension began Friday evening. It will resume every Friday at 9 p.m., ending with the regularly scheduled start of Monday morning service, though fall 2019.

LA Metro shuttle buses will replace trains between Crenshaw and Redondo Beach during the suspensions, with those buses also serving the Hawthorne/Lennox, Aviation/LAX, Mariposa, El Segundo, and Douglas stations.

Full Green Line service will continue between the Norwalk and Crenshaw stations.

The Crenshaw/LAX line is scheduled to open in 2020, serving eight new stations. It is part of the “Twenty-Eight by ’28” initiative to expand its rail network in time for the 2028 Olympics.
