A four-block section of Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills will be closed for three weeks, with detours in place, as part of ongoing LA Metro construction on the D Line Extension.
The full closure between El Camino Drive and Crescent Drive will run from March 17 to April 7 to allow crews to complete deck removal and roadway restoration for the Wilshire/Rodeo Station, which is currently under construction.
Work will take place 24 hours a day, seven days a week, except during holidays and regional events, LA Metro officials said.
The construction will also impact Metro bus routes.
Starting March 17, Metro Lines 20 and 720 will detour via Santa Monica Boulevard, Burton Way, and San Vicente Boulevard, with temporary stops along the route. Line 617 will reroute via Santa Monica Boulevard, Century Park East, and Olympic Boulevard, with a temporary stop at Santa Monica and Wilshire.

These detours will remain in place through April 7.
The Wilshire/Rodeo Station is part of the D Line, formerly the Purple Line, extension, which will connect downtown Los Angeles to Westwood in about 25 minutes. The project is being built in three sections, with the first phase from Wilshire/Western to Wilshire/La Cienega set to open this year. The second phase, including Wilshire/Rodeo, is expected to be completed in 2026.
