Regional Connector Transit Corridor is a 1.9-mile underground, light-rail system crossing Downtown Los Angeles Station beginning at 7th Street/Metro Center Station. The project will link the current terminus of the Blue and Expo Lines at 7th Metro Center to the Gold Line near the Little Tokyo/Arts District Station in a new underground alignment along Flower Street and Second Street in Downtown Los Angeles.

The alignment will extend underground from the 7th Street/Metro Center Station following Flower Street, curving east under the 2nd Street roadway tunnel and 2nd Street, and continuing under the intersection of 1st and Alameda Streets, surfacing to connect to the Metro Gold Line tracks within 1st Street at grade to the East and North of Temple Street toward Union Station. The project was budgeted at $1.756 billion and slated to be complete in 2022. Construction is led by Skanska and the design team is led by award-winning company, Mott McDonald.
