The Glendora to Pomona project is now more than 90% complete and remains on time to reach substantial completion the first week of 2025. As we near the end of September, crews continue to focus on completing testing of the new light rail system and completing the four new stations, plaza areas and associated parking facilities. Crews are also out completing final details of work along the corridor; some of which will not be done until after substantial completion.
Additionally, the Pomona to Montclair project has reached its next milestone with release of the Request for Proposals (RFP) to the Kiewit design-build team earlier this month. The team will have several months to complete their detailed review of the project and provide a firm, fixed price to complete the 3.2-mile, two-station project. In the meantime, the Construction Authority is working with Metro and SBCTA on the necessary agreements to be prepared to award a contract in the Spring and be able to start work thereafter.
Four New Stations
Crews continue to make substantial progress constructing the four new light rail stations. Work is ongoing on and around the station platforms, including the walkways and plazas, as well as the associated parking facilities. Working out of their studios and fabrication facilities, each station’s artist/artist team continues to bring their art pieces to reality, with most of their pieces awaiting installation (or already installed).
Glendora Station: At the future Glendora station, crews continue to carry out work on and around the station platform. As seen in the photos below, crews are currently installing tactile pavers along the edges of the platform. The tactile pavers provide visual and tactile warnings to future riders as they approach the edge of the station platform. When this work is completed, crews will install the architectural pavers for the walking and standing areas of the platform.
San Dimas Station: At the future San Dimas station, crews are currently constructing the walkway entrance from the sidewalk on San Dimas Ave. to the station platform ramp, as seen in the photo below (right). The walkway will allow future riders to safely walk across the eastbound light rail track to get onto the platform.
