Long Beach Transit Adapts Service During Construction
Two westbound stops on Bellflower Blvd closed Nov 10 for construction work
Long Beach Transit Closes 2 Bellflower Stops
Two westbound bus stops on Bellflower Blvd closed November 10 due to construction, Long Beach Transit confirmed. Stops #3064 and #1065, located between Alondra Blvd and Mayne St, are temporarily unavailable to riders on Routes 91 and 93. Passengers should use nearby alternative stop #3063 during the closure.
Construction Prompts Service Adjustment
The stop closures stem from construction activities in the area, according to the transit agency. Long Beach Transit operates 35 fixed routes throughout Long Beach and surrounding communities, serving approximately 13 million riders annually. Officials didn't specify the nature of the construction project or which entity is conducting the work. Transit agencies routinely adjust stop locations temporarily when roadwork, utility projects, or other construction activities make stops inaccessible or unsafe for passengers.
Two Routes Affected by Closure
The closure affects westbound service on Routes 91 and 93 along the Bellflower Blvd corridor. Both routes will bypass the closed stops and continue serving the alternative location. Long Beach Transit hasn't released information about how many riders typically use the affected stops daily. Officials also didn't provide details about the walking distance between the closed stops and alternative stop #3063, though transit agencies typically designate alternatives within reasonable walking distance.
Duration of Closure Remains Unclear
The stops closed November 10, though Long Beach Transit hasn't announced an expected end date for the temporary closure. Officials said the closure will remain in effect while construction activities continue in the area. Transit agencies typically don't provide specific timelines for construction-related closures when project completion dates are uncertain or controlled by external contractors.
Riders Advised to Plan Ahead
Passengers who regularly use stops #3064 and #1065 should allow extra time to reach alternative stop #3063. Long Beach Transit posts service alerts and updates on its website as conditions change. Moovit provides real-time updates for Long Beach Transit routes, helping riders navigate temporary service changes and find alternative stops during construction-related closures.
