Traffic on Crenshaw Boulevard between 60th Street and 67th Street has been restored.

Restoration work on Crenshaw Boulevard in the Hyde Park neighborhood has been ongoing since the beginning of August, and road striping took place last week. All vehicular traffic and Metro bus lines are now back on Crenshaw Boulevard.

Over the past couple of months, Metro’s contractor, Walsh-Shea Corridor Constructors,  implemented a series of closures to perform various activities to cover the underground segment of the alignment along Crenshaw Boulevard, and to restore the road between 60th Street and 67th Street.

Crews removed massive beams, protected utilities in place by encasing them in concrete, backfilled the road, covered the road with waterproofing material, completed backfill, layered the road with asphalt, and performed road striping to restore Crenshaw Boulevard to three lanes in each direction with left-turn pockets at all intersections.

An underground segment of the alignment is now below Crenshaw Boulevard in the Hyde Park neighborhood. Once in operation, the train heading southbound will transition underground just south of the Hyde Park Station (at Crenshaw Boulevard and Slauson Avenue) and will turn southwest into Inglewood just south of 67th Street. In addition to a restored road,  a new bus pad, new median, and new sidewalk are located just south of 67th Street.
