Orange Line extension to break ground today
8:59 AM | June 24, 2009
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa joins city and county transportation officials this morning in Chatsworth for a groundbreaking ceremony on a project that will extend the Metro Orange Line busway by four miles.
The $215.6-million extension will continue the dedicated bus line from Canoga Park to the Metrolink-Amtrak station in Chatswoth. The project is the first to begin construction under Measure R and is expected to generate about 3,000 jobs.
County voters approved the measure in November, allowing $40 billion to be used for crucial transit and highway projects. The measure goes into effect next month.
