The Foothill Gold Line extension from Pasadena to Azusa is in the testing phase and now 95 percent complete, according to construction officials. When it opens, hopefully in winter 2016, commuters will be able to travel all the way from East L.A. through DTLA, Pasadena, and onto the San Gabriel Valley.
The last work on the line is taking place at the six stations, with dedications happening at the end of summer. For now, take a look at how they’re shaping up (pretty darn well). Photos via Gold Line Construction Authority
