Here are a few renderings of the Crenshaw/LAX Line that the project team passed along.

The 8.5-mile light rail line has been under construction since early 2014 and there is work up-and-down the rail right-of-way between Exposition Boulevard and the Green Line. Most prominently, the tunnel boring machine that will dig the underground segment beneath Crenshaw Boulevard is being prepared to being lowered in the ground near the intersection of Crenshaw and Exposition boulevards.

Here’s the project’s home page. The Crenshaw/LAX Line is funded primarily with funds from Measure R, the sales tax increase approved by Los Angeles County voters in 2008. The project is forecast to open in 2019. An additional station near Aviation and 96th will also be built to connect with the future LAX people mover that will take riders to the LAX terminals, a new ground transportation center and a consolidated rental car facility.
