Metro is expected Friday to implement a weekend closure of Wilshire Boulevard to support final paving for its D (Purple) Line Subway Extension Project.

Beginning at 9 p.m. Friday and continuing through 6 a.m. Monday, Wilshire Boulevard will be fully closed between Western Avenue and St. Andrews Place. The closure will allow crews to conduct final paving work west of the Wilshire/Western intersection.

A detour route will be in place.

Drivers will be able to travel eastbound on Wilshire down southbound Crenshaw Boulevard, back east on Olympic Boulevard and northbound on Western and return eastbound on Wilshire.

Drivers heading westbound on Wilshire will head southbound down Western , travel westbound on Olympic, and turn northbound on Crenshaw, returning westbound on Wilshire.
