Street Closures In Santa Monica This Week As Crews Work On Expo Line

A major intersection in Santa Monica closes tomorrow and will remain closed into next week as crews work to install Expo Line light rail tracks.
The crossing of Lincoln Boulevard and Colorado Avenue will be closed starting at 3 a.m. tomorrow. It is scheduled to reopen at 6 a.m. next Monday, Metro says.
In its second phase, the Expo Line will add stops across the Westside, including Bergamot, Santa Monica City College and downtown Santa Monica. So when the line opens in 2015, with any luck it should be a little easier to escape the constant gridlock Water Garden.
