The station will be connected to the Broad, and to Grand Avenue, by a pedestrian bridge.[3]

Grand Av Arts/Bunker Hill is part of the Regional Connector project, a tunnel through Downtown Los Angeles that will connect the Metro Rail Blue, Expo, and Gold Lines. Under current plans, the station will be served by both the restructured A Line, connecting Long Beach and the San Gabriel Valley, and the restructured E Line, connecting Santa Monica and East Los Angeles. The Regional Connector is scheduled to open in 2022.[4]
