The 11.5-mile Gold Line Pasadena-to-Azusa extension is now half done, and Construction Authority CEO Habib F. Balian said, "We have stayed on-schedule and on-budget since we began work in 2010."

The Construction Authority anticipates having the Monrovia maintenance yard, which will accommodate 84 light rail vehicles, done by March 2015, and the remainder of the project turned over to Metro in September 2015 for testing and pre-revenue service.
