Link Union Station

The Link Union Station Project is a major infrastructure initiative led by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority to transform Los Angeles Union Station from a stub-end terminal into a modern run-through station capable of accommodating increased regional, intercity, and high-speed rail service. The project involves constructing eight new run-through tracks south of the station, a partially elevated rail yard to support higher train volumes, and an expanded pedestrian passageway to enhance passenger flow and accessibility. Complementing these on-site improvements are essential off-site railroad enhancements at BNSF Railway’s Malabar Yard in Vernon, including the closure of 49th Street and the construction of a new 46th Street Connector to improve connectivity and reduce operational conflicts. The project’s environmental compliance is governed by the California Environmental Quality Act, with an approved Environmental Impact Report documenting mitigation measures and findings. Although the project has received regulatory approval and public documentation is available through official channels, no formal contract value, payment terms, invoicing procedures, or detailed contractual clauses have been disclosed. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority serves as the lead agency, with Carlos J. Montez, Deputy Executive Officer, designated as the primary point of contact for project-related inquiries. The primary place of performance is 800 Alameda Street in Los Angeles, with additional work occurring in Vernon, and while the project is slated for implementation following its approval, no explicit period of performance, delivery schedule, or contract type has been formally established in the available records.
