Work to install new rails, boarding islands, boarding ramps and curb ramps continues throughout the corridor. The last remaining area of track installation work between 33rd Avenue and Sunset Boulevard is in progress. Street base work continues in multiple areas. During street base work, the block will be closed between 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. for cement pouring and curing on one side of the street at a time. Parking and road restriction will be in place and released once the cement cures at the end of the day.
