LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A light rail line extension to East Los Angeles will open next month after five years of construction.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority announced the Nov. 15 opening on Monday for the 6-mile-long Gold Line extension from Union Station in downtown to the city's east side. The new segment will have eight stations, two of them underground.
The $890 million project started in 2004. When it opens, it'll link East Los Angeles to Koreatown, the San Fernando Valley, Pasadena, Long Beach and the South Bay area on 79 miles of track.
Metro says it'll offer free rides on the Gold Line on opening day.
