On Saturday, June 24, 2023, the Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority held a Track Completion Ceremony to celebrate the completion of major work for the new light rail track system for the 9.1-mile, four-station Foothill Gold Line light rail project from Glendora to Pomona. The celebration took place at the D Street railroad crossing in La Verne, just steps away from the University of La Verne, the County Fairplex and the future La Verne station. The event culminated in the installation of the 230,630th rail clip (rail clips permanently attach the steel rail to the concrete railroad ties), officially completing major construction for the new light rail tracks, and permanently connecting the cities of Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne and Pomona via this new light rail line.
The project is now 72% complete overall and remains on schedule to reach substantial completion in early-January 2025, when it will be turned over to Metro for training and pre-revenue service. Metro determines when passenger service starts.
