Wilshire/Fairfax station is an under construction, underground rapid transit (known locally as a subway) station on the D Line of the Los Angeles Metro Rail system in LA's Miracle Mile area along Wilshire Boulevard at its intersection with Fairfax Avenue. It is slated to open in 2025.[1] It will be served by the D Line (formerly Purple) and will be the second station west of Wilshire/Western station.[2][3][4]
