A Year Into Heavy Construction, LAX/Metro Transit Center Takes Shape
The massive LAX/Metro Transit Center station is rapidly taking shape at the intersection of Aviation Boulevard and 96th Street in Westchester, California, with the steel frame now coming together. This $900-million transit hub, which began heavy construction in early 2022, will provide a rail connection to LAX.
The approximately 9.5-acre complex is located directly east of the K Line's new maintenance and storage facility, and will eventually be served by both the K and C Lines, as well as local buses.

The full project includes a 16-bay bus plaza with charging infrastructure, a multi-level active transportation and bike hub, a vehicle drop-off zone, a customer service center, public toilets beyond the fare paid zone, commercial space, and a sculpture by Los Angeles artist Glenn Kaino, which will be integrated into the station's hub structure.
