The estimated $2.75 billion LinkUS project is planned to convert Union Station from a stub-end station to a run-through station. Metro staff introduced a new concept under consideration: an above-grade concourse.
Metro expects to see the preliminary (30 percent) design completed shortly and to hire a design/build construction contractor to finish the plans and break ground by mid-2018. The project would be completed in late 2019, around the time that the Crenshaw/LAX Line would be opening.
