The Foothill Gold Line Azusa to Pomona segment is now more than 90% complete. The extension of the Metro A Line remains on track toward substantial completion by early 2025.

“As we near the end of September, crews continue to focus on completing testing of the new light rail system and completing the four new stations, plaza areas and associated parking facilities,” read an email from FGL spokesperson Lisa Levy Buch. “Crews are also out completing final details of work along the corridor; some of which will not be done until after substantial completion. Additionally, the Pomona to Montclair project has reached its next milestone with release of the Request for Proposals to the Kiewit design-build team earlier this month. The team will have several months to complete their detailed review of the project and provide a firm, fixed price to complete the 3.2-mile, two-station project. In the meantime, the Construction Authority is working with Metro and SBCTA on the necessary agreements to be prepared to award a contract in the Spring and be able to start work thereafter.”

Active train testing continues throughout the 9.1-mile segment, often overnight, while construction continues throughout the day. Residents, commuters and pedestrians are reminded to stay alert during the tests and follow all safety rules near the tracks. Crews are nearly done installing fencing to prevent unauthorized access to the tracks.

Crews are also making progress toward completion of four stations in Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne, and Pomona. Each will be center platform stations with west and eastbound tracks.

Crews will continue to implementing intermittent lane closures in Glendora at the Lone Hill Avenue crossing, and in Pomona at the Garey Avenue crossing north of Arrow Highway and at Garey and Grevillia avenues.
