Get the 411 on Full Closure of Magnolia Avenue at Railroad Crossing

Magnolia Ave at the railroad crossing (just north of Duarte Rd and between Genoa St and Pomona Ave) will be fully closed to thru-traffic for four months, from Monday, April 21, 2014 through August 2014.

The closure is required to allow crews to construct grade crossing improvements, as part of the 11.5-mile Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension light rail project. Detour signage will be posted to direct motorists and pedestrians around the closure (see map).

A free shuttle service will also be available to assist pedestrians around the closure during the hours of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with shuttle stops located on both sides of the closure. Signage will be posted at stop locations.

Standard construction work hours are 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. Note: Occasional longer work hours, work on the weekends and night work may be performed to complete this work as scheduled.

REMINDER: Community meeting to discuss closures - Thursday, April 24 at 6 p.m. 

The Construction Authority will be hosting a second community meeting to provide details and answer questions about this closure and the upcoming closure of Mountain Ave. The meeting will take place at Maxwell Elementary School at 733 Euclid Ave, Duarte, CA 91010.
