The G Line’s Van Nuys Station will be closed for three years beginning Friday, February 21, to start construction of the new elevated Van Nuys Station. The station will be closed until 2027.
The work is part of the G Line Improvements Project, which will make the G Line safer, more reliable and faster.
As part of the project, a new bridge is being constructed that will span Van Nuys Boulevard and Vesper Avenue.
What Riders Need to Know
•Van Nuys Station will close with the start of service beginning 12:01 a.m. Friday, February 21.
•A temporary G Line stop will be added at the intersection of Van Nuys Blvd. and Oxnard Street as part of a detour around the current station. Use the northeast corner of the intersection if riding toward Chatsworth and the southwest corner if riding toward North Hollywood.
•Bus riders and cyclists should allow 5-10 minutes of extra time depending on traffic to accommodate the anticipated detours.
•Parking and TAP vending machines at Van Nuys Station will also be closed starting Friday, February 21. As an alternative to the machines, you can load fare on your TAP card online at taptogo.net or locate the nearest TAP vendor. Vendors near the G Line Van Nuys Station include the CVS at 5601 Van Nuys Boulevard and Ria Transfers at 14440 Victory Boulevard.
•As an alternative to plastic TAP cards, you can use your smart phone as a TAP card by using the TAP app, which is available for iPhones and Android devices. On iPhones the app can load your TAP card into your Apple Wallet.
•Parking will be available at Sepulveda Station with access via Haskell Avenue or Erwin Street
•The bike path adjacent to the G Line will be closed between Tyrone Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard. See the above map for the temporary route for the bike path.
•Although sidewalks in the work zone will be closed, pedestrian pathways will be available.
•Daily construction work hours will be Monday to Friday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Intermittent weekend work will be from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Nighttime work will be from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. weather permitting. Work depends on variance permit approvals from the City of Los Angeles.
In addition to the new bridge, the $668-million project will upgrade the G Line between North Hollywood and Chatsworth with better signal priority technology and a four-quadrant gating system at selected intersections. The project will reduce bus travel times, increase capacity and safety along the corridor.

three years to construct a bridge seems long. is this being built for conversion to light rail standards?
this a good first choice as Sepulveda will most likely be tranfer station for subway and Van Nuys for the light rail..BUT we need to get some other streets grade separated as well, my choice being a couple at angle crossings.
Quad gates should be mandatory everywhere and some more minor streets need to be closed.
All of this whether bus or rail
