Los Angeles Metro is set to close the Van Nuys G Line Station for three years, beginning Friday, February 21, 2025, to facilitate major infrastructure improvements. This closure is part of a $668 million upgrade to the 18-mile Metro "G Line" Bus Line (BRT), aimed at enhancing travel efficiency and reducing traffic congestion.
What’s Changing?
The station parking lot and adjacent bike path will also be closed as part of the long-term construction project. Riders will need to use temporary bus stops and plan for longer commute times due to detours.
Key Project Upgrades
The Metro G Line improvement project includes:
- Three new bus overpasses, including one over Van Nuys Boulevard and Vesper Avenue
- An aerial station at Van Nuys Boulevard for faster boarding
- A bridge over Sepulveda Boulevard, expected later this year
- Upgraded signal priority at 13 intersections to improve bus travel times
- More trees, lighting, and pedestrian-friendly walkways
These upgrades will enhance mobility, reduce travel times, and increase passenger capacity on one of the most heavily used transit corridors in the San Fernando Valley.
Alternate Bus Stops & Parking
While the Van Nuys G Line Station is closed, riders must use temporary stops:
- To Chatsworth: Northeast corner of Oxnard Street
- To North Hollywood: Southwest corner of Oxnard Street
For parking, riders should use the Sepulveda G Line Station lot at 15430 W. Erwin Street, Van Nuys, accessible from Haskell Avenue and Erwin Street.
How to Pay for Fares
During the closure, TAP vending machines at the Van Nuys Station will be unavailable. Riders can:
- Buy fares online at taptogo.net
- Visit nearby TAP vendors, such as:
- CVS at 5601 Van Nuys Blvd.
- Ria Transfers at 14440 Victory Blvd.
Plan for Delays
Metro advises passengers and cyclists to add 5-10 minutes to their travel time, depending on traffic conditions.
Future Transit Expansion
The Metro G Line upgrades will ultimately connect with the East San Fernando Valley Light Rail Transit Project, which is currently under construction. This expansion will further improve public transit access in the region.
