Metro Gold Line Extension Station In Monrovia Dedicated

MONROVIA (AP) — Officials have dedicated a $265 million, 24-acre maintenance and operations facility for another expansion of commuter light rail east of Los Angeles.

The Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority says the facility dedicated in weekend ceremonies is a milestone in building an 11.5-mile extension from Pasadena to Azusa. The project, with six stations, is expected to be completed by late September.

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority currently operates Gold Line trains between Pasadena, downtown Los Angeles and East Los Angeles.

The new Gold Line Operations Campus will service up to 84 light rail vehicles.
