Is your commute going to take you past the utility work on National, Palms and Exposition Boulevards ? According to the city of Los Angeles, the relocation of existing on-street and underground utilities is necessary for construction of the National/Palms bridge structure and station. From Jan. 26 to March 10, an alternate route may be advisable. The work is being conducted by the Expo Line’s contractor on behalf of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. While closures and detours are necessary to conduct the work, the project has implemented a work plan to minimize the duration and impact to residents, businesses and commuters. It’s all for a good reason; building Phase 2 of the Expo Line project.
