Bridge, station and bicycle path improvements are advancing along the G Line bus rapid transit corridor in Los Angeles County, supporting efforts to improve transit service between North Hollywood and Chatsworth.
At Sepulveda Boulevard, the project team has completed a storm drain connection and concrete placement for the underside and girders of the bridge. Mechanically stabilized earth wall construction is also progressing at the Sepulveda Boulevard and Van Nuys bridges.
At Van Nuys, work continues on the planned aerial station, with canopy installation identified as the next activity. The improvements are part of a broader programme to upgrade infrastructure along the San Fernando Valley transit corridor.
The project team has implemented the first phase of a bicycle path detour near Canoga Avenue to accommodate path improvements. The next phase is planned near White Oak Avenue, with the full detour expected to open to the public later in fall 2026.
Upcoming construction activities also include pouring the Sepulveda Boulevard bridge deck. Coordinating bridge work and bicycle path access is part of the project's ongoing construction planning.
Valley Transit Partners, a joint venture comprising FlatironDragados, Stacy Witbeck and Modern Railway Systems, is delivering the improvements for the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA Metro).
Once completed, the project is intended to make G Line service faster and more reliable along the route connecting North Hollywood and Chatsworth.
Implications for Regional Transit Infrastructure
The G Line improvements involve several interconnected infrastructure elements, including bridges, an aerial station and bicycle facilities. Coordinating these activities while maintaining public access is a key consideration for transit construction teams. The project also demonstrates the role of joint ventures in delivering complex transportation upgrades that require specialized construction and rail-system expertise.
