by ,

FINAL UPDATE: repairs have been completed and Green Line will run regular service on Monday, Aug. 27.

UPDATE, 1 a.m. Aug. 25: Service to all stations will resume with start of service on Saturday, Aug. 25. Trains share one track between Vermont/Athens and Crenshaw/105 as repair work continues. Trains will run every 15 minutes, and bus shuttles will no longer be in service.

UPDATE, 2:50 p.m.: Bus shuttles will remain in service between Hawthorne/Lennox and Vermont/Athens through the afternoon rush hour. Metro staff is on scene and continues to assess the needed repairs to the damages caused by this morning’s tanker fire.

The Green Line is slated to run every eight minutes and shuttles will match train service as best as possible. Please allow extra travel time to transfer between the train and bus shuttles. For additional transit service in the area, consider Line 120 on Imperial Highway or these alternate routes.

At this time, repairs are likely to continue into the weekend. We will continue to update Metro’s Twitter streams (@metroLAalerts and @metrolosangeles) and The Source.

  2. Metro may have to consider new barriers for the 105 like they are doing for the 210 in Pasadena.
