Crews will be constructing grade crossing improvements on Mayflower Ave at the railroad crossing in the city of Monrovia, as part of the 11.5-mile Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension light rail project. This grade crossing work requires a full closure of Mayflower Ave at the railroad crossing for just over two months.

Standard work hours are 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Occasional longer work hours, work on Sundays and/or night work may be performed.

All businesses, including those located on Mayflower Ave, will remain open and accessible during construction.
Motorists are advised to expect delays and use alternate routes when possible.
