L.A. is seeing a wave of exciting transit projects, from rapid bus improvements to major expansions like the D Line extension. These upgrades are reshaping the city’s transportation network and preparing it for the future.
Among them, the Van Nuys G Line Station reconstruction has recently reached a major milestone: the elevated ramp skeleton is visibly rising, signaling the transition from groundwork to vertical assembly, according to Tiger Railfan, a transportation-focused YouTube channel.
After more than a year of demolition, grading, and support-column installation, Metro crews are now building the framework that will connect the elevated busway back down to street level, a key step in creating a fully accessible, futuristic transit hub.

The Van Nuys G Line Station reconstruction is part of the broader Metro G Line Improvements Project, a major infrastructure upgrade on the busiest east–west transit corridor in the San Fernando Valley.
Besides transforming the existing at‑grade bus rapid transit stop at Van Nuys Boulevard into a grade‑separated, elevated station on a viaduct over the Boulevard and Vesper Avenue, other key elements of the improvements include:
- Multiple grade separations and bridges to keep buses moving without stopping for cross‑traffic.
- Safety enhancements with the installation of railroad‑style four‑quadrant gates and improved signal priority at major intersections.
- Bikeway and multimodal upgrades that will improve the adjacent G Line bikeway, add new bike racks and lockers, and enhance pedestrian access.
The Van Nuys Station closure began in February 2025 and is expected to remain closed until its scheduled completion in late 2027, just in time for the Olympics.
