LA Transit Adapts as Line 195 Reroutes for Progress
Foothill Transit Line 195 detours due to Colima Road construction between Fullerton and Hacienda
Foothill Transit Line 195 Detours on Colima Road
Foothill Transit's Line 195 is running on a detour through parts of the San Gabriel Valley as construction closes a section of Colima Road. The route can't use its normal path between Fullerton Road and Hacienda Boulevard, transit officials said. The agency classified the disruption as high severity, meaning riders should expect notable changes to their regular travel patterns.
Construction Forces Route Changes
The detour affects a key corridor in Foothill Transit's service area, which spans 22 cities across the San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys. Officials said the construction work requires the temporary route change, though they didn't specify what type of work is being done or which entity is managing the project. Multiple stops along the affected corridor may be impacted, according to the transit agency. Foothill Transit operates 36 local and express bus lines throughout the region.
Service Impact Details
Transit officials didn't provide specifics about how many stops are affected or relocated during the detour. The agency also hasn't released information about typical ridership on Line 195 or how many passengers might need to adjust their travel plans. Officials said riders should expect possible delays and should check for temporary stop relocations. The transit agency advised passengers who regularly use Line 195 to plan ahead and allow extra time for their journeys.
Timeline Remains Unclear
The detour is currently in effect as of the August 11 alert publication, but officials haven't announced when construction will be complete or when Line 195 will return to its regular route. The duration of the detour wasn't provided in the transit alert. Officials said passengers should continue to monitor updates as construction progresses.
Riders Advised to Check for Updates
Passengers who use Line 195 should expect service changes until construction wraps up on Colima Road. Officials said riders can find current detour information and any updates about affected stops through Moovit's real-time transit tracking. The transit agency emphasized that travelers should allow extra time and verify stop locations before heading out.
