Historic Broadway is an under-construction light rail subway station in the Los Angeles County Metro Rail system. The station is located at the southeast corner of 2nd Street and Broadway in the Historic Core section of Downtown Los Angeles.[1] In planning documents, the station was originally named 2nd St/Broadway.[2]

The station is across the street from the Los Angeles Times Building and a block from the Broadway Theater District.

Historic Broadway is part of the Regional Connector project, a tunnel through Downtown Los Angeles that will connect the current Metro Rail A, E, and L Lines. The station is planned to be served by both the restructured A Line, connecting Long Beach and Azusa, and the restructured E Line, connecting Santa Monica and East Los Angeles. The station is sited in a private right of way, requiring agreements with the property's owner before a high-rise could be built on the site in the future. It was constructed via the sequential excavation method, the first time Metro has utilized the process.[3] The Regional Connector is scheduled to open in 2022.[3]
