Historic Broadway station is an underground light rail station on the A and E lines of the Los Angeles Metro Rail system. It is located at the southeast corner of 2nd Street and Broadway in the Historic Core section of Downtown Los Angeles.[2] In planning documents, the station was originally going to be named 2nd St/Broadway.[3]
Historic Broadway was built as part of the Regional Connector project, a tunnel through Downtown Los Angeles. The station is sited in privately owned land and required an agreement with the property's owner, which reserved the right to build a high-rise building above the station entrance on the site in the future. It was constructed via the sequential excavation method, the first time Metro has utilized the process.[4]
