Metro A Line Light Rail Improvement Project

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority is initiating the Metro A Line Light Rail Improvement Project to upgrade existing infrastructure and enhance the efficiency of the Metro rail system in Los Angeles County. The primary objective of this project is to address current operational constraints and prepare the system for increased demand during major events. By implementing these improvements, Metro aims to provide faster and more frequent light rail transit services while incorporating additional safety measures. The scope of work specifically involves the installation of interlocks to facilitate train car crossovers and storage between existing stations. The project will be executed at two key locations within Los Angeles County. The first is the Anaheim Street Interlock, situated between the 5th Street and Anaheim Street Stations in the City of Long Beach. The second is the Avenue 34 Interlock, located between the Lincoln/Cypress and Heritage Square Stations in the City of Los Angeles. This project has been granted an exemption from further environmental review under Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines, as it constitutes an improvement to existing facilities. While the specific contract value, period of performance, and detailed evaluation factors are not provided in the current notice, the project is classified under NAICS code 237990 and is managed by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
