In order for the Expo Line contractor to install rail across 11th Street in Santa Monica, there will be a full street closure at the intersection of 11th and Colorado starting 5 am Monday, Dec. 9.

The continuous seven-day closure means 11th Street will be closed to northbound and southbound traffic at the Expo Line crossing on Colorado Avenue, and left turns onto Colorado Avenue will be prohibited.
