The year 2024 was a busy one for the Los Angeles Metro Westside Purple Line Extension (WPLE) Section 2 Project. After successfully completing the tunneling of the 2.59 miles (4.17 km) of twin-bore tunnels on January 12, 2023, significant progress was made to advance the project toward its goals. Key achievements include the completion of the #excavation, initial lining, and permanent cast-in-place (CIP) concrete work for all 14 cross passages and the completion of all first-stage inverts and CIP concrete walkways within the running tunnels. Also of note are the efforts made on the difficult task of disassembling and removing both tunnel boring machines (TBMs) from within the tunnel.
