Concrete work is planned at various locations beginning Thursday as part of Metro’s $1.7-billion Regional Connector Transit Project.
The work will be conducted at the Little Tokyo/Arts District Station, Historic Broadway Station, Grand Avenue Arts/Bunker Hill Station and in areas within the Flower Street/Financial District.
“These concrete pours are a vital step in the process of completing the project,” a Metro statement said. ” All pours will take place within current station and site limits, with through-access maintained.”
