Division 20 Portal Widening & Turnback Facility Project

Metro is continuing work on the Division 20 Portal Widening and Turnback Facility Project to improve rail service on the Metro B (Red) and D (Purple) Lines. This project supports more frequent service by increasing capacity at the Division 20 rail yard and allowing faster turnaround for train cleaning and maintenance. 

Current Work: Portal Demolition and Widening – North Yard 
Construction crews are widening the eastern half of the portal structure that connects trains to Union Station. This work includes demolition of existing infrastructure and installation of new rail tracks. Work will continue through December 2025.
