Eyes on the Street: Nearly Completed Wilshire/La Cienega Station in Beverly Hills
In early 2026, the Metro D Line subway will arrive in Beverly Hills. Metro recently announced that section 1 – four new miles of D Line – will open by March. Construction got underway in 2014, and is already more than 98 percent complete.
Humans – with neither airplane nor helicopter – will be able to travel from Beverly Hills to downtown Los Angeles in about 20 minutes.

Last year, Streetsblog shared photos of almost-complete above ground portions of new D Line stations at Wilshire/La Brea and Wilshire/Fairfax, but your favorite transportation news site inexplicably failed to share images of the third new station: Wilshire/La Cienega.
Behold, this week’s photos of Wilshire/La Cienega, the very first Metro subway station in the city of Beverly Hills.




Who is excited to ride the new D Line extension next year?!?
Remember, that’s not the only new Westside rail station coming soon. Section 1 will be followed by two further sections, both with construction already well underway. These three phases will combine for nine new miles of D Line, extending all the way to Westwood.
