Beverly Hills Gets a Metro Boost: Wilshire/La Cienega Station Opens in 2026

Wilshire/La Cienega Station
A Game-Changing Transport Link for Los Angeles


Travelling to Beverly Hills is set to become faster, easier, and more sustainable with the opening of the new Wilshire/La Cienega Station on Friday, May 8, 2026. This milestone marks a major step forward in the expansion of Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s D Line (Purple) Subway Extension, a transformative infrastructure project connecting downtown Los Angeles to the vibrant Westside.

Designed as a high-capacity, zero-emission rail line, the extension enhances mobility across the city while supporting environmentally friendly travel. For visitors and locals alike, it represents a new era of convenience in exploring one of the world’s most iconic destinations.

Connecting Downtown Los Angeles to Westwood

The D Line extension stretches from Downtown Los Angeles through key neighbourhoods to Westwood, home of the renowned University of California, Los Angeles. Once fully completed, the journey between downtown and Westwood is expected to take approximately 25 minutes, dramatically reducing travel times across the city.

Passing through Beverly Hills and Century City, the line improves access to major employment hubs, cultural institutions, and world-famous attractions, making it an essential addition to Los Angeles’ transport network.

Wilshire/La Cienega Station: Gateway to Beverly Hills

Strategically located at the intersection of Wilshire Boulevard and La Cienega Boulevard, the new Wilshire/La Cienega Station offers seamless access to one of the most dynamic areas of Beverly Hills. The station features a modern, user-friendly design with escalators, elevators, and stairs leading to underground platforms and a spacious concourse.

Visitors will find themselves within easy reach of popular attractions, including the historic Saban Theatre, the La Cienega Park, and the cultural treasure of the Margaret Herrick Library. The area is also famous for its Restaurant Row, a culinary hotspot offering diverse dining experiences.

For travellers, it opens up new possibilities to explore the city without relying on cars, making sightseeing more efficient and environmentally conscious.
