MONROVIA, Calif. - Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority dedicated four new stations along its 9-mile Foothill Gold Line light rail project from Glendora to Pomona.
Attended by local and transportation officials and members of the community, the Construction Authority celebrated each new station on the Metro A Line. In July 2020, crews began work on the $1.5 billion project and finished on January 3, 2025. This project extended the line from Glendora to Pomona. According to the release, “the project has since been turned over to Metro, with the agency currently carrying out final preparations to ready the extension for passenger service.” Metro has not yet announced a start date for passing” A service opening date is expected for this summer.
Each new station features a center platform with light rail on either side. Additionally, at each station, there is a multi-modal parking facility, landscaping, and station artwork. These stations provide connections to popular destinations nearby for passengers as well as a link to the Metro A Line and Metrolink San Bernardino Line.
“Today, we celebrate more than just four new stations; we’re witnessing a true game-changer for the San Gabriel Valley. This summer, when Metro A Line trains begin service, it won’t just be about getting from A to B,” stated Foothill Gold Line Board Chair and Claremont City Council Member, Ed Reece. “It will be about unlocking unprecedented access to jobs, education, and entertainment, transforming how our communities thrive and connecting millions across the greater Los Angeles region like never before for generations to come.”
“Completing these four new stations and the overall 9-mile project from Glendora to Pomona on time and on budget would not have been possible without the support, partnership and dedication of our corridor cities, elected officials and staff,” stated Foothill Gold Line CEO, Habib F. Balian. “The Construction Authority is tremendously grateful to have had these corridor cities by our side, as we navigated the project’s construction through the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, record heat waves, and torrential rainstorms.”
