Construction on the L Line extension project gets underway this week in San Dimas, leading to road closures that are expected to last for three months.

Kiewit-Parsons, the firm building the project, will have crews on Gladstone Street, requiring it to be shut down at the railroad crossing starting Friday, July 10. The closure will last through September 30, according to the Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority, the agency overseeing the project.

The work at this segment includes the relocation of underground utilities and freight tracks and the installation of new light rail tracks. New safety equipment will also be installed.
