The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (LA Metro) board has approved contracts with two private sector teams for pre-development work on the Sepulveda Transit Corridor project.
The corridor will connect the San Fernando Valley with the Westside and eventually with LAX via a high-speed, high-capacity transit line.
Bechtel was awarded a $69.9 million contract to further develop its proposed heavy-rail transit solution concept. More than 60% of the partner team’s proposed heavy-rail concept would travel underground, with the remainder of the line traveling primarily in an aerial section.
LA SkyRail Express was awarded a $63.6 million contract to further develop its proposed monorail concept that would be an aerial alignment primarily within the Interstate 405 right-of-way between the Valley and Westside.
With contracts approved, LA Metro plans to begin the environmental review process this fall, when concept designs for these and other alternatives will be advanced and/or refined through ongoing public feedback and technical investigation and analysis.
