Attention Residents and Business Owners

The Exposition Construction Authority, in preparation for construction of the Expo Line, will be preparing the right-of-way for utility relocation and improvements by removing the existing train tracks, shrubbery and various trees. The work is being managed and performed by the design-build contractor FCI/Fluor/Parsons (FFP, a Joint Venture) and its subcontractors.

When: Wednesday, December 26, 2007 through Friday, March 14, 2008 from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays)

Where: Construction crews will be working on the Exposition right-of-way between Vermont Avenue and La Brea Avenue

What: Construction crews will be preparing the right-of-way for utility relocation and improvements by removing the existing train tracks as well as various shrubbery and trees along the right-of-way. Existing train tracks will be removed and the steelwill be recycled. Where feasible, trees will be protected, stored and replanted during the project landscaping phase. Also, new trees will be planted at the end of construction.

Traffic Impacts: There will be no traffic impacts, such as street closures or detours, as a result of these construction activities. Trucks used to haul away debris will occasionally interrupt traffic as they enter and exit the right-of-way. Flagmen will be used to safely direct drivers in order to minimize disruption to traffic. Parking restrictions in all construction areas will be strictly enforced at all times.

Safety Advisory: Please do not enter the construction work zone and obey all posted construction signs.
