The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (LACMTA) Blue Line Pacific Coast Highway and Anaheim stations in Long Beach will each receive a second canopy along with improvements, such as lighting, new paint, replacement of worn or damaged tiles and the installation of new tracks and track beds.

 

Work will be done from 9 p.m. on Friday until 5 a.m. on Monday on the following weekends: November 7 through November 10; November 14 through November 17; November 21 through November 24 and December 5 through December 8.

Stations comprising the downtown Long Beach loop – the Fifth Street, First Street, Downtown Long Beach and Pacific Avenue stations, will be closed on the affected weekends.

From November 7 through December 8, there will also be work on weeknights from 9 p.m. – 4 a.m. with minimal disruption to Blue Line Service.

Metro conducted a 30-day closure, from September 20 through October 19, during which similar improvements were performed on the downtown Long Beach loop with work completed on time.
